About Ryan Adams

Ryan Adams was born on November 5, 1974, in Jacksonville, North Carolina. Over the span of his music career, he has defied the norms of the music industry and gone by his own rules. He is recognized as a wonderful songwriter and singer, and even was referred to by Elton John as the "fabulous one." Adams never stops writing even as he continues to tour around the country with his legion of fans waiting for tickets to go on sale.

Ryan Adams' first venture into music was as a member of a high school band named Patty Duke Syndrome. Its punk sound was heavily influenced by bands like the Dead Kennedys and Sonic Youth, but he soon turned to a different genre where he could better express his thoughts and emotions. Country and folk music was the perfect vehicle for him to express those thoughts, and with that Ryan Adams formed the band Whiskytown. The band released two albums, Faithless Street (1995) and Stranger's Almanac (1997). When the band fell apart, Adams struck out on his own and began his solo career.

His debut album, Heartbreaker (2000), was well received by critics but sales for the album were slow and it did not receive any radio air play. But his second album, titled Gold (2001), became Ryan Adams' best selling record and landed him two Grammy Award nominations in 2002. His third album, Demolition (2002), was a compilation of songs that were never released from his previous recordings and once again garnered him critical acclaim. His other releases include Rock N Roll (2003), Love is Hell (2004) and Easy Tiger (2007), which debuted on the Billboard 200 chart at #7.
