Has Ryan mentioned to you why he doesn't tour the States? Outside of New Mexico it looks like he's become a European transplant.

Hi Curby,
Interesting question. No idea why Ryan started to tour Europe before touring the States.
But when he gave his debut here in Europe, everybody knew that Ryan is very special and so it's no wonder that he's booked again here.
Rick's reply pretty much hit the nail on the head. There are apparently more suitable, small venues within easy reach of one another, and that cater to 'our' kind of music over here, than there are in the US. This means that you can put together a ten day tour of venues that don't require more than maybe three hours driving to get to the next gig. Maybe Ryan also came over here first because a number of us made some serious work of trying to get it together on his behalf?
Maybe Ryan also (in part) came over here first because he was advised to do so by his friend and mentor, a certain Joe B?
edit - P.S. Thanks for sorting tickets, Eva! Bussi.
RIP Iron Man
