HE'S BACK!!!

Ryan McGarvey is a globally respected guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter

admiration of his own musical heroes. Over the course of his luminous career, 

McGarvey has shared stages with legends including Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck,

B.B. King, Joe Bonamassa, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and many more—an 

achievement that speaks volumes about both his talent and reputation. 

​

McGarvey’s recordings have received critical acclaim worldwide, with reviewers

 praising his explosive yet nuanced guitar work—ranging from searing delta 

slide to hard-driving rock—his unmistakable vocal style, and his mature, 

emotionally resonant songwriting. His live performances are equally 

unforgettable: powerful, dynamic, and deeply engaging, leaving audiences 

breathless and eager for more. Rooted in early delta blues and classic hard 

rock, while seamlessly incorporating modern blues-rock influences, McGarvey’s

 sound is both timeless and forward-looking. In 2010, he and his band were 

hand-selected from over 4,000 artists worldwide to perform at Eric Clapton’s 

prestigious Crossroads Guitar Festival in Chicago.

That invitation was followed 

by a return appearance at the 2019 Crossroads Guitar Festival in Dallas—

performed in the midst of a demanding European tour.

 

His work has been featured in leading publications such as Guitar World, Guitar Player, 

Premier Guitar, Music Connection, Gitarist, Blues Magazine, Rock Times, Blues

 Review, and more. In 2013, he was named “Best New Talent” in Guitar Player 

Magazine’s annual Readers Choice Awards, and has since received numerous 

additional honors, including Hall of Fame status at the European Blues Awards. 

Backed by a formidable rhythm section often featuring A-list musicians such 

as Logan Miles Nix (John 5), Brant Leeper (W.C. Clark, Coco Montoya), and 

legendary bassist Carmine Rojas (David Bowie, Rod Stewart, Joe Bonamassa),
