Ryan Doherty

Ryan Doherty is a truly gifted performer with the courage to push
boundaries. His vivid, imaginative approach to song writing has
allowed him to develop a truly unique sound that stands out in a
saturated UK music scene. His music is experimental, bold and
electrifying. The result is a genre-transcending amalgam, fusing
Pink Floyd’s creativity, Leonard Cohen’s haunting vocals and the
virtuosity of Paul Kossoff. Ryan Doherty’s talent must be heard to
be believed.

Currently writing and performing out of Birmingham, England, Ryan
is a dedicated and focused professional. His path to success has
been marred by personal adversity that many would have struggled
to overcome. Luckily, Ryan’s persistence and love of music has won
through. In 2000, a serious car accident left him unsure if he would
play guitar again. Then, in 2014, the tragic and untimely death of his
father led him to an all-time low. He found solace in his guitar and
honoured the memory of his father – his musical inspiration – by
writing a series of truly heartfelt songs. Ryan recorded and released
a selection of these tracks and the feedback was phenomenal.
Ryan Doherty remains independent at present but is looking for
opportunities to team up with forward-thinking record labels and
promoters. He continues to write and release new material on a
regular basis and his ability to pair stark, soulful lyrics with searing
guitar riffs makes for a truly remarkable listening experience.
