Ryan Langdon

Given that he had a very promising US college baseball stint, it seems fitting to use a sporting metaphor to describe the ongoing career ascent of Niagara region-based country music artist Ryan Langdon. After paying those proverbial dues on a college team, and diligently working on his craft as a vocalist and songwriter, this charismatic performer has proven himself ready for the major leagues. Since 2020, he has delivered a series of Top 40 hits including "Lit In The Sticks" that have now placed him in the top tier of emerging Canadian country artists. That status will be reaffirmed with the release of a new EP on Hidden Pony/Slaight Music that Langdon is currently completing for release later in 2023. The new material is the result of writing and recording sessions in Nashville and Toronto with an A-list team of creative collaborators, and Ryan is thrilled with the results. His rock-inflected sound is showcased on the killer new Langdon cut, “Bad Choices,” the poignant ballad “Always Leaving,” the radio-friendly “We Were There,” and “Soul and Sanity,” a tender ballad saluting a life-affirming relationship. Considering he has been recording music for just six years, Ryan Langdon’s rise to the major leagues has been a rapid one, but he has been dedicated to his music much longer. “I’ve been doing music for 12 years, playing the bars around home, and going through the wringer of playing late at nights, then getting up early to make a living.”
