Charming critics and audiences with New Threats From The Soul, his funny, loose, reference-packed album, the veteran Louisville musician is having an unlikely breakthrough at 40 years old.
Indie rock fans, it's time to get on the Ryan Davis bandwagon

Out today on vinyl for the first time, April Magazine’s Sunday Music For An Overpass, a 9 track collection originally issued on tale by Paisley Shirt. A modern classic in my eyes, which nods to the greats of but holds its own kind of hard-to-place mystery. aprilmagazine.bandcamp.com/album/sunday...

Hey, I did a long interview with Ryan Davis, a songwriting phenom who is ready to be an overnight sensation at the age of 40. His new album NEW THREATS FROM THE SOUL drops Friday and it's a doozy.

Ryan Davis & the Roadhouse Band New Yorker feature now live. It’s a good one. If you’ve thought much about the words to any of these songs, I’d estimate you’ll enjoy reading what Amanda Petrusich has thought about them, too. Someone else trying to crack the case. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

astonishingly the red vinyl pressing of the Daily Toll LP is now sold out less than a week after release (check your local store just in case but we have none left). there’s just 10 of the black vinyl now remaining on Bandcamp… then that’s that. dailytoll.bandcamp.com/album/a-prof...

Lolloping Americana and “cosmic-slacker jams” from the former frontman of State Champion. Ryan Davis’s solo work is winding, expansive and vivid – full of long songs given room and time to breathe. Recent single New Threats From the Soul has already landed him a Pitchfork Best New Track badge.
