Ryland Moranz was born a singer-songwriter.
His first band was formed shortly after his second birthday and was
principally staffed by his German accented grandmother, who played the
recorder, and an opinionated cat named Stella. Now, 26 years later
Ryland has been a working, touring musician for over a decade, playing
and recording in multiple genres both as a solo and as a member of the
band Sophmore Jakes, traveling from Whistler BC to Montreal QC.
Rylands concise and lyrically driven songwriting is deep beyond his
years with an emphasis on storytelling and an increasing awareness that
life is always bigger than you think it is. Sometimes politically
satirical and often offset with fun loving humor, Rylands wit and social
conscience shine through in the well crafted vernacular of a songwriter
that has found their voice. Accompanying himself with acoustic and
electric guitar, tenor guitar, Harmonica, Piano, mandolin, button
accordion and banjo, his multi instrumental approach provides the a
great foil to the words he puts to paper.
Ryland has shared the
stage with great acts like Luke Doucet, Captain Tractor, the Agnostic
Mountain Gospel Choir, John Wort Hannam, C.R. Avery, Reuben and the
Dark, Bend Sinester, 100 Mile House, Andrew Allen, Mark Sadlier-Brown,
Michael Bernard Fitzgerald, The Weber Brothers, Rob Szabo, the United
Steelworkers of Montreal, Sean Brewer, Wendy Mcniel, The Deep Dark
Woods, Shout Out Out Out Out, and Soulja Fyah.
He has also had
the privilege of hosting a songwriting workshop with Luke Doucet and
Rob Szabo in 2007 at southern Albertas own South Country Fair.
In 2013 Ryland recorded the album Another One About Flowers with his
mother and sister. The album was recorded and produced by Victoria born
Leeroy Stagger at Rebeltone Ranch studio in Lethbridge, Ab.
Rylands parents, both of whom are musicians involved in Canadian music
culture, have had a profound influence on him. His mother imparted to
him that music should be creative and from the heart, and his father
showed him the importance of the space between the notes, and by staying
honest with yourself your music will be honest too. These lessons were
well rounded by Rylands discovery many years later of the great Joe
Strummer and the Clash, who through his own musical education imparted
to him a great truth in songwriting,
The words you speak should always mean something.
