Chris Ryan

Broadcast Date – June 6, 2018

It was so great to catch up with St.John’s #NLfella singer-songwriter Chris Ryan, especially since he’s right in the midst of a media blitz given his song LUCKY HEART is in the running for SiriusXM radio’s TOP OF THE COUNTRY competition, so we’ll talk about that – and so much more… including his long love of live performance, his righteous writing mates, his first go at the guitar and all the famous folks he plays hockey with. And naturally, we’ll be as much of his truly cool country music tunes as we can squeeze into the hour – so without further ado here’s my conversation with the one and only Chris Ryan!
