Tuck Ryan - Spotify VS Indie Artist, House Shows, & AI In The Industry | Tone Tailors Podcast Ep.01

I’m thrilled to kick off the Tone Tailors Podcast with Lancaster’s own Tuck Ryan—singer-songwriter, multi-band veteran, and Philly transplant who’s moving back home to Lancaster at the end of the month. In this hour-long conversation, we dive into:-- His obsession with vinyl, albums as journeys, and why production detail matters-- Streaming vs. Bandcamp vs. Band residencies, and the real way musicians earn a living today-- The power of house concerts, DIY shows, and building community five feet from the stage-- His songwriting spark—melodies, dream-born lyrics, and the “sacred” process of recording live takes-- Collaborations in New Orleans, Philly soul sessions, and plans to bring that sound back to LancasterYou’ll hear Tuck’s plans for weekly residencies, big shows at ed Rocks, and secret pop-up house gigs just like we used to before 2020 changed everything. Follow him everywhere at @TuckRyanMusic and catch The Quiet Riders live June 20 at West Riding Motor Club or June 21 at ed Rocks Outdoor Listening Room in Bethlehem, PA. ***** SONG FEATURED IN THIS EPISODE*****Sixes on Straight by The Quiet Ridershttps://thequietriders.bandcamp.com/track/sixes-on-straightMatt Hostetter: Guitar, VocalsTuck Ryan: Keyboards, VocalsCaden Myers: Bass GuitarJosh Kanusky: Drums-Jackson Trout is featured on percussion on "Donny".-Recorded at The Sugartank by Mike Newman & Levi Schlosser -Right Coast Recording by Mike Newman & Bobby Gentilo-Mixed & Mastered by Mike Newman-Artwork by Pseudodudo*****Walgreens by Tuck Ryanhttps://tuckryan.bandcamp.com/track/walgreens-Tuck Ryan: Vocals, Acoustic Piano, Hammond C3, Writing-Ajay Shughart: Vocals, Acoustic Guitar, Bass, Percussion, Writing, Engineering-Eoin Murphy: Electric Guitar-Kyon Williams: Drums-Mixed and Mastered by Fortune West*****Shine (Feat.

By day, he’s a custom-web-design wizard and marketing agency owner who’s probably tinkering with code or dreaming up his next business idea; by night, he’s your tour guide through the absurd, the hilarious, and the downright unexpected. When he’s not behind the mic (or chasing his Frenchie, Lumos), Levi’s on a quest to tailor your tone—whether that’s finding the perfect guitar rig or backyard show, one episode at a time.*****At Tone Tailors, John LeClair and JP Painton set out to build a uniquely inviting space packed with the resources musicians need to find the perfect gear.
