“I met Ryan in 2006 and was very impressed at the depth of his influence and his ability to put said influences together in his own way .To watch him grow as an artist and to hear his name mentioned to me as much as it has is a testament to his hard work and skill. ” Joe Bonamassa
“Ryan’s playing has the passion and exuberance of youth, but its further lifted by a deep dedication to his craft. His technique is awe-inspiring, but its the dawning subtleties and emotional range that hints of the greatest possibilities” Ian Moore
Brian Rawson Band
Originally from Belfast, Brian Rawson played with The Tearjerkers (Good Vibrations/Phonogram) who toured with Thin Lizzy, Dexy’s Midnight Runners, Doll By Doll and Rachel Sweet. He moved to London where he played guitar on the demos for Jim Lyttle’s band, who would later become Rogue Male, produced by Jimmy Bain (Rainbow/Wild Horses/Dio) who also played bass on the track, “Rough, Tough & Pretty Too.” Brian relocated to California where he played the circuit for a number of years with various bands and played guitar on singer/songwriter, Jon Lacabanne’s album, “Amen.” Brian Rawson joined Sweet for a British tour and played guitar on Irish singer/songwriter, Deidre Cunningham’s album, “Sunny Days” before heading to Nashville where he played guitar with “Handsome” Mick Rowe’s band, Nineteen88 and recorded Whiskey Hill’s song, “Killing Time”. Moving to Glasgow, Brian joined the Lynsey Dolan Band, co-writing the track “Do Right Man†which appears on the “Jock’s Juke Joint Volume 2” compilation before working with Emma Jane on the Red Shoes EP.
Just over two and a half years ago, Brian was introduced to bass player, Jim Carr (Little Head/ Big in America) and they started working on material Brian had written and formed the Brian Rawson Band. They eventually hooked up with drummer, Iain McDougall (Big Wednesday/Lynsey Dolan Band) with whom I’d worked before and singer, Robin Neilson, who Brian had worked with in Emma Jane’s band and briefly, Lynsey Dolan. Despite the current line-up having only been together less than a year, The Brian Rawson Band have played with Wishbone Ash, Pat McManus, Russ Tippins, headlined the “Blues Day on The Ferry†and “Stormy Sunday†at The Jazz Bar in Edinburgh.

Their debut album is released on 3 March 2014.
