The Ryan Express started out in 2006 as an acoustic singer-songwriter project. At this time, exploration went into sound engineering which resulted in the creation of the recording, mixing, and mastering studio known as Fountainworks Recordings. The studio, operated by Ryan Hubener, provided a creative environment for the production of the first album titled “Please Be Seated” which was released in 2008.

Over the next 10 years, songwriting evolved and new compositions were self-produced culminating in the 2nd studio album titled “Let’s Not and Say We Did”. With this album, instrumentation was filled out to create a full band production. During this time, Fountainworks Recordings also experienced advances and upgrades in technology which boosted the production quality.

January 2021, a close friend passed away under traumatic and unexpected circumstances. This fueled the creative writing process, and many new compositions came forth again from The Ryan Express. From 2021 – 2023 recording, mixing, and mastering took place to self-produce the album titled “Underground”. This album performed solely by Ryan Hubener, reflects on the emotions and internal turmoil during this time.

With the latest EP titled I Guess So, The Ryan Express returns to the sound that started it all... heavy punk rhythms fused with punishing high energy guitar-driven rock. Ryan Hubener collaborated with Riley Voth (drums/backup vocals) and Drew Johnson (bass) on this release.
