Ryan Rothe

From the farm to Music City USA. Ryan Rothe moved to Nashville, TN 3 years ago straight off the farm where he was working with his father and 80 year old grandfather on their 800 acre farm to pursue his dream of becoming a country music star. Within 2 weeks of moving to Nashville he was making lattes at the local Starbucks just off the famous Music Row, hoping that working at that location would pay off as the spot where someone would discover him. Within six months that dream would come true with a latte request from Victoria Shaw (award winning producers of Lady Antebellum, 2009 CMA’s new artist of the year) and Gary Burr (a member of the Country Music Songwriters Hall of Fame and a guitar player for both Carol King and Ringo Starr). They fell in love with his warm country voice and the three of them began writing songs capturing the story of a young man whose music is a fascinating blend of straight ahead traditional country with a contemporary sound. Ryan was the finalist on the "Today Show" Super Star talent search, beating out thousands. He was also fortunate to sing the National Anthem twice for the St. Louis Cardinals playoff games at Busch Stadium. A month ago Ryan was honored to play at the annual Starbucks meeting in Nashville for Cliff Burrows and other top executives. Stay tuned because there is much more to come from this budding soulful country star.
