SIXTH BIRTHDAY
BASH
By Murray Green
Camrose and area country rocker Ryan Lindsay will be helping to celebrate the Norsemen Inn’s sixth birthday bash for The Tap Room on March 24 at 8 p.m. “It is a great opportunity for me to play there. I have a burning passion for live music and we will work together to celebrate the birthday bash. It will be a blast and we will have a fun time,” said Ryan. “When we play at the Norsemen, we will be playing songs that are familiar to people. We will highlight the cover songs that night, more so than our own songs. We want to play songs people know and my songs will be for another night,” said Ryan. “My band members are from east central Alberta. Kevin Beckovich is studying bass at MacEwan University, our drummer Josh Littlechild is from Wetaskiwin, our guitarist Mike Winterhalt and myself are from Camrose. We are close to home, local guys that started last spring. I wanted a solo project with friends. I have been with bands in the past, but I wanted to pursue more of a solo career,” said Ryan. “We are going to be recording an album later this spring and into the summer with release in the fall. It will be country music that was inspired during the ’90s when rock music began to mix with country. It is good traditional country music mixed with rock music and I love it. We are about high energy and the goal is to put on a fun, live performance so people can enjoy what we do.” Ryan often admires the Zac Brown Band, who played at Big Valley Jamboree. “They are an unbelievable band and I appreciate the way they write music. They are super fun and put on quite a show,” shared Ryan. “My style of music has been all over the map, but I always come back to country music because that is what I grew up listening to on the radio. It has stuck with me and it connects other people too. Songs connect with people, whether it is driving down the road, or going fishing with your dad,” he added. Ryan also loves to write music. “I’m always looking for that next song

to write. I take down notes – sometimes I carry a notepad around with me and, if somebody says something cool, I try to find ways to turn it into a song.” He started playing at nine years old and learned ’60s tunes with the help of his grandfather. “I made a home music video when I
was 12 singing Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash. My family inspired me to keep playing and that led to this solo project. I’m pursuing music because I am passionate about it. I’m willing to go down that road and see where it takes me.” Releasing a CD will be a big step for him in country music.
