Topic: Ryan McGarvey at Crossroads' Ernie Ball Stage

I think I am singlehandedly trying to repopulate the forum!

Ryan McGarvey was probably the best act I saw at Crossroads after Joe.  I have heard so much about him, bought his CD a couple of years ago, and been dying to see him.  I was not disappointed in the least.  Excellent, but too short, set.  I could have listened to Mystic Dreams all day.  I don't know what you call it when he "cradles" the guitar with one hand and plays with the other but that was amazing to watch and listen to.  Hope he makes it to the East Coast soon.

Robert Knight (the photographers' equivalent of Joe   smile  ) was watching Ryan (and Joe) play and snapping a few pictures - very cool to see them later on Facebook.  He was such a gentleman - here's the guy who's camera probably cost as much as a small car being careful not to get in the way of any of us with our "toy" cameras - very nice, and much appreciated.

I absolutely agree. 

I actually just heard of him when I saw him at crossraods and I was blown away.  Bought his cd immediately and it is great.

He needs a tour promoter to get him out of New Mexica and touring around.  I would gladly pay to see him perform an entire concert.

Re: Ryan McGarvey at Crossroads' Ernie Ball Stage

Ryan's performance at Crossroads was one of the highlights for me.

When I was a child I spoke as a child, But all I heard was how I should get ahead,
Now growing up it ain't anything but all This indecision with these debts and doubts
And worries hanging over my head. When I was a child I spoke as a child,
I wish I could remember what I said.
