Bio
The Ryan Payne Band, a four-piece Christian alternative band hailing from Chambersburg, PA, has been making a name for itself with area music lovers and, as a result, has garnered a solid fan base. If you are a fan of indie rock, pop, alternative, or worship music, The Ryan Payne Band is likely to strike your fancy quickly.
RPBs sound is familiar enough to catch your attention and at the same time interesting enough to hold it, drawing definite comparisons to artists such as Downhere, The Fray, The Rocket Summer, and Ben Folds Five. Each song strives to bring the band members Christian worldview to life without being preachy or cliché. I want the music we play and the lyrics we sing to encourage people in life and to challenge their perspectives, states Payne passionately. I want people to hear truth when we perform. I want them all to be entertained, but, admittedly, if thats all they leave with theyve been short-changed.
In a world of gray areas and over complications, the RPBs message is one of simplicity. We just want our music to positively impact as many people as possible. With eyes wide open the Ryan Payne Band plans to continue bringing its talented songwriting and clear vision to the world for years to come. Will you be along for the ride? We hope so.
