DescriptionFor the hard partying Southern boys that make up the Ryan Bales Band, the party is only going to get bigger, louder, and faster in 2006. Their first album "Revival" was released in April, and they have two years of stage experience already under their belts to support the effort. Ryan (25), lead guitar player Cody Brown (21), and drummer Clay Oliver (19), met through friends and common interest in music. It didn?t take long for them to realize it only made sense to put a band together. The Ryan Bales Band has developed a strong following around their home base of San Marcos, TX, through consistently bringing great music to their audience. Spend 5 minutes with these guys and it will become very clear to you that what you see is what you get. The guys have been together for a couple of years now, and have played some of Texas? best venues with some of the best talent of the South. With a high-energy, hard hitting stage show to match their rootsy, rock sound, fans can count on the Ryan Bales Band to deliver every time they take the stage. Observers have compared their sound to such greats as the Marshall Tucker Band and Little Feat, but Ryan?s trademark sandy growl helps elevate their sound to a place that is all their own. What you won?t find in the Ryan Bales Band is anyone or anything pretentious. Fans are friends around this band, which only aids the growth of their following all the more. Those friends are excited to help bring the band to the next level of success, supporting them throughout the release of their debut album. Bridging the gap from hometown favorites to cd release parties and radio play is a big step, but the RBB couldn?t be more ready. A tight-knit, cohesive unit with the common goal of bringing their sound to a larger stage, can accomplish great things.
