Jeff Ryan is 2018's breakout artist of the year!
This was a big year for Jeff. After signing with Woodward Records, 2018 marked the debut of his first radio single "Up and Up" followed by his debut album "Embrace."
"Up and Up" reached #1 on our Top 20 countdown last summer and his second single, "Sweet Spot," has been bouncing around the chart, rising to #1 this week!
2018 was a standout year for Jeff Ryan and 2019 is looking great too! He's already booked for the Namm Jamm, the Seabreeze Jazz Festival, and the Mallorca Smooth Jazz Festival.
