Ryan Hurd, Michigan's sensational country artist is bringing his signature sounds to the Paradise Rock Club!
Ryan James Hurd was born in Kalamazoo (Michigan) in 1986 and is a singer, songwriter, and guitarist. While his musical style can be broadly classified as country, it's best described as a blend of contemporary country (a sub-genre of country music that primarily draws from classic honky tonk, but also boasts all the advantages of updated production techniques and equipment, proving that pure country music can sound authentic yet modern) and country pop (a blend of country music and pop music developed by artists of the former out of a desire to reach a larger, mainstream audience). His breakthrough came in 2015 when he co-wrote a single (Lonely Tonight) for renowned country artist Blake Shelton. The track (also featuring country singer and Pistol Annies member Ashley Monroe) topped Billboard's Country Airplay chart, hit #2 on its Hot Country Songs chart, and went on to be certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Country Duo/Group Performance. It wasn't long before Ryan got a record deal and he released his debut extended play in April 2017. He went on to have a stellar career with 2 more extended plays, 3 singles, 2 music videos, and he's toured with many renowned artists such as Chase Rice, Thomas Rhett, Florida Georgia Line, and Maren Morris.
