Ryan Bonner :

Only When It's Burning


Ryan Bonner is proud to release his second full-length record "Only When It's Burning." Recorded during most of 2012 this record finds Bonner working with Producer Joe Taylor for the first time; opting to self-produce previously releases, 2010's "Monsters In The Hallway" EP and 2012's "Think of England. LP." Joe Taylor's expertise can be shadowed by the type of talent he has worked with in the past including Steve Holley, Buddy Miller and Emmylou Harris among many others. Taylor first got excited about Ryan Bonner's music after listening to a previous release. "I was first made aware of Ryan by my friend, Bryan Compton, who rung me up and said ‘Hey, you really need to listen to this; it's world-class material.' So, I listened, and it was like listening to early Steve Earle or John Hiatt. Ryan Bonner has a genuinely distinctive voice, unfettered by popular affectation, and his songs spring from a well of keen observation and sharp wit. This is classic American music."

The full length record will be available through iTunes, Ryan Bonner's Website, and in Charleston at Monster Music in Movies. The Lead Single "The Rapture" will going for Americana and Triple A Radio adds in the coming weeks.

Joining Bonner and Taylor on the album are studio and touring veterans Steve Holley, drummer from Paul McCartney and Wings, and bassist Sean O'Bryan Smith, whose credits include Larry Carlton, Keith Urban and Lady Antebellum as well as his touring band Jack Friel, Malin Wagnon, and Whitt Algar.

A staple in South Carolina Music Scene, Bonner has had a strong presence on the radio both in Charleston, SC at WCOO, The Bridge at 1055 and WWNU, The Palm in Columbia, SC. Say's WWNU Operations Manager, Mike Allen "Ryan Bonner has lyrical and songwriting skills that wring the emotion out of the everyday in our lives. Then his performance brings the words to life."

"Only When It's Burning." is available@iTunes & Monster Music and Movies in Charleston SC.
