Prairie Ocean
July 2014
The concept of Ryan’s debut album is his story of growing up having two homes. While born and raised in Saskatchewan, Ryan has a large family in California. Through his life he spent most summers living the California dream of beautiful beaches and sun and coming home to Saskatchewan and riding his bike out on the prairies. This album is a love letter to both Saskatchewan and California; half of the album deals with a prairie theme and then the album travels south to California. Prairie Ocean is a roots pop album filled with beautiful melodies, harmonies that pay tribute to surf music and Canadiana. Produced by: Mark Schmidt. Recorded at: Blue Door Recording, Regina.
