Tenor Banjo / Vocals

Starting his seventh tour with Seven Drunken Nights, Paddy Ryan is a multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter, who tours internationally as both a solo entertainer and also in numerous group formats. His performances generally follow a mixture of his own songs and reworked covers, in a hybrid of genres taken from rock, country and Celtic sources. 

His own sound has been described as Brit Pop meets Jonny Cash mixed with American Southern and Surf Rock, featuring harmonic vocals layered with powerful lyrics over a driving melodic bass and rhythm section.
