Ryan Taylor Price is a singer/songwriter in Asheville, North Carolina.  Price was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest and cut his teeth on Seattle’s dynamic music scene, where he was a founding member of successful bands Human Ladder and Alkai Diggins. Those rock n roll roots fuse his music with a fantastic raw energy, even as he leans into the imagery and storytelling of American Roots music. 

After an epic cross-county journey that involved a dog, a camper full of guitars, and an adventurous family, Price settled into the rich musical traditions of Western North Carolina, where he helped found The Greybirds, who were noted for their lyrical songwriting and rich, vibey instrumentation. 

His outstanding vocals are a perfect complement to his musicianship, and his performances feature a seamless blending of the acoustic and electric experience. Price is always in pursuit of the next great song. For a great song, he believes, has the ability to heal, inspire, and connect people.

Tyler Dodson: Born in the foothills of the Sauratown mountains in Stokes County, North Carolina, Tyler Dodson's musical journey has been a tapestry of sounds and stories as eclectic as the South itself. From the soulful, country hymns of his uncle’s Baptist church, to the Old-Time and Bluegrass that were ever-present in his hometown, to the Rock and Soul records that echoed through his formative years, Dodson draws from a deep well of tradition and innovation. In his distinctive style of Americana, one can hear echoes of the past, the pulse of the present, and the promise of the future, all mingling together in a blend that is uniquely his own.

His debut album, Live at the West Salem Public House, is slated for release later this year.
