A grayscale photo of Ryan playing guitar and harmonica. He has long hair and a beard, is wearing a short-sleeve button-up shirt, and is standing in front of a microphone.

Ryan crafts songs from found things
tangible and otherwise

Stories reminiscent of decades gone

They radiate, natural and polished
from rolling guitar and a clear warm tenor
a Country Squire with a fresh coat of paint

BIO

Ryan Hartkopf is a folk singer-songwriter whose music takes you on a long walk in a short forest. His music points you through the compaction of modern life to find the roots that connect us all. There it reveals, within everyday moments, the overlooked treasures hidden in plain sight.

Ryan blends his Midwest experiences with Americana influence to paint a personal, yet vaguely familiar, landscape. Following in the footsteps of classic folk musicians, he overlays rhythmic guitar with a strong tenor voice, harmonica, and a whistle here or there.
