If there’s one name that’s been burning bright across the Texas Country scene this year, it’s Mike Ryan. With a string of chart-topping hits, a loyal fan base stretching from Fort Worth to Nashville, and a new wave of music that’s pure heart and grit, Ryan continues to prove why he’s one of the most respected voices in Red Dirt and Texas Country music today.
A Voice That Cuts Through the Noise
Mike Ryan’s music isn’t just played—it’s felt. Whether it’s the raw vulnerability in “Dear Country Music” or the swagger of “Damn Good Goodbye,” Ryan’s songs carry the kind of authenticity that can’t be faked. His sound blends traditional country roots with modern edge, pairing smooth vocals with relatable storytelling that hits home for anyone who’s ever loved, lost, or chased a dream down a Texas highway.
And while Nashville polishes and packages, Ryan stays true to his roots. He’s built a career on doing things his own way, racking up 12 number-one singles on the Texas Regional Radio Chart, including his recent smash “Get Away With Anything,” which claimed the top spot earlier this year.
New Music, Same Texas Soul
Ryan isn’t slowing down. His latest single, “Hard to Write a Love Song” (released September 26, 2025), showcases everything fans love about him—soulful lyrics, textured vocals, and an honesty that comes straight from the heart. Earlier in the year, he dropped “I Was Wrong,” another standout track that’s been making waves across streaming platforms and Texas radio alike.
Both songs mark a new era for Mike Ryan—more confident, more refined, but still grounded in the independent Texas spirit that’s defined his entire career.
There’s no better way to experience Mike Ryan than live. His 2025 tour has already hit cities like Nashville, Paintsville, and his home turf of Texas—with fans packing dance halls and outdoor stages to sing every word back at him. Upcoming dates include Bonham, TX on October 10, with more shows to be announced soon.
If you love artists who balance lyrical honesty with powerhouse performance, Mike Ryan is your guy. His songs bridge the gap between the Red Dirt faithful and the mainstream country crowd without losing an ounce of authenticity. He’s got the voice, the pen, and the presence—and he’s just getting started.
So whether you’re discovering him for the first time or you’ve been along for the ride since “Bad Reputation,” now’s the time to tune in. Stream his new music, grab tickets to a show, and see why Mike Ryan is the heartbeat of Texas Country in 2025.
