Ryan Mead – Gymea, NSW
Ryan Mead is an 18 year old Sydney based country musician / guitarist and live performer. While his passion is for upbeat honky tonk/ modern American country style music, he brings his larrikin styling to a wide performance repertoire covering country/ rock, blues and folk music. He covers modern artists like Chris Stapleton, Luke Combs, Cody Johnson and Midland, yet seamlessly transitions to classics from Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley and George Strait.
His original music (to be released in 2024) pays homage to his influences of the country greats with a nostalgic playing style and writing that lends itself to a distinct but familiar sound. His masterful guitar skills on display add another dimension to his already impressive vocal ability.
Ryan is a NSW Talent Development Project graduate, a HSC Encore nominee, a graduate of Berklee’s Summer Aspire program (2022) and will begin a Bachelor of Music degree at Berklee College of Music in Boston USA in late May 2024.
Whether performing solo acoustically, or with a full band behind him, Ryan brings an energy and enthusiasm to his performance that makes you fall in love with Country music all over again.
