Though she didn't play, music was something Ryan's mother shared with him at an early age. Music has a way to help escape reality and bring a sense of joy and peace in the moments of pain and uncertainty.</p> <p>In his early teens, Ryan Clair picked up his guitar and spent much of his life playing in bands, finding out who he was as a musician.</p> <p>A few years later, a now married Ryan Clair, a father of 5, has reached a place where he feels at home in his life and his music.</p> <p>Ryan writes songs that tell his story, a journey of faith as a follower of Jesus Christ.</p> <p>In 2018 Ryan Clair's 'Less Traveled Road' LP introduced us to his impressive, gritty, southern rock chops with an absolute barn burner of a record. The year 2019 found Ryan adjusting course in more ways than one: he made the westward move to the scenic Pacific Northwest where, inspired by his new surroundings, he penned a starkly minimal sophomore album.</p> <p> This brings us to the present:</p> <p>His newest album,</p> <p>Among the Pines, released on January 24th, 2020.</p> <p> 'Among the Pines' is a musical journey of the soul with Clair positioned as the narrator on a solo trek through the mountains. Intentionally never reaching the sheer rock bigness his previous album had, he instead steers into an alt-country simplicity that flows from song to song.</p> <p>Ryan Clair is here to for visit with us today!</p> <p> </p> <ul><li>Ryan Clair's Web Site: <a href='http://www.ryanclairmusic.com/'>http://www.ryanclairmusic.com/</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <ul><l
