Five notes into "I'd Follow You," the opening song on Andrew Ryan’s sophomore Divulge Records release Waiting for Paris--EP, Andrew’s voice melts into his soulful, beautiful guitar playing and his lyrics are just as heartfelt and inviting as ever.

9 Horses

9 Horses is an improvising chamber ensemble featuring Joe Brent (formerly of Regina Spektor’s band) on acoustic and electric mandolin, 2018 GRAMMY nominee Sara Caswell (Esperanza Spalding) on violin and Hardanger d'amore, and Andrew Ryan (Kaia Kater) on bass. Featuring Brent's original compositions and the incendiary, genre-hopping virtuosity of all three members, the trio at the core of 9 Horses represents their vision of a musical future with no barrier between 'folk art' and 'fine art', and as an ensemble are capable of communicating this idea through musical canvases both great and small.
