Background notes
Archive material and source history
Matthew Ryan came out of Ireland in 2009 with a raw vocal style that some critics initially found too traditional for contemporary tastes. He kept writing anyway, and his song 'Irrelevant' eventually connected with listeners online, bringing him wider attention.
His albums like 'The Lion and the Rose,' 'The Shipwreck,' and 'The Wire' followed, mixing folk and rock with personal lyrics. Songs such as 'Return To Me' and 'All Lit Up' show his focus on emotional themes without much polish.
He has worked with other musicians including Ed Sheeran and Glen Hansard, and plays live with a band featuring Paul Brennan on guitar and Conor Murray on bass. The performances are straightforward, built around the songs rather than spectacle.
