Barb Ryman plays at the Roots Cellar

Singer/Songwriter Barb Ryman will play at the Roots Cellar Music Series at University Baptist Church on Saturday, April 22, 2017 at 7 pm.

A natural storyteller with a deep compassion for the lost and forgotten voices of our culture, Barb Ryman expects music to be more than entertaining. With a crystalline voice and skillfully played guitar, Barb delivers a rich mosaic of contemporary folk, drawing from Celtic balladry, early rock, old-time gospel, and her own unique style. Her new CD, CATCH THE SUNSET, charting #15 on the Folk-DJ chart in its first month, is a sweet melodic ride flowing from intimate personal confessions to wise cultural commentaries to whimsical love stories and adventures of the heart. Her songs have received airplay on folk programs across the U.S, Canada and Europe, including the nationally syndicated, Midnight Special and Nevada Citys KVMR. Her live performances span from the Cedar Cultural Center in Minnesota to Uncle Calvins in Texas, to the Portland Folk Society in the West to Club Passim in the East, drawing in audiences with her captivating charm, disarming honesty and playful wit.

Barb Ryman proves herself a strong vocalist, talented composer, and an astutely irreverent student of the human condition. - Dirty Linen
Charming vulnerability and a rare knack for detailing the profound truths of everyday life. Her clear, ringing voice is reminiscent of Sandy Denny or Iris Dement. Minneapolis Star Tribune
