Dan Tyminski announces Ryman live album

The modern-day bluegrass legend takes the stage at the Mother Church of Country Music

Fourteen-time Grammy winner Dan Tyminski hasn’t lost his appreciation for the live shows and classic tunes that inspired him as a child, and he’s been more than happy to share that inspiration onstage. With his newest release—a concert album dubbed Dan Tyminski: Live From The Ryman—he’s still the same boy transfixed by live music’s power to communicate and connect. Out August 16th, Live From The Ryman shines a light on Tyminski’s acclaimed live show. Recorded in Nashville at the world-famous Ryman Auditorium, the album showcases the sharp songwriting, full-throttle vocals, and guitar chops that have powered Tyminski’s music for decades. It’s also a showcase for his ace band, a young group of fiery flat-pickers, hotshot instrumentalists, and harmony singers whose sheer talent is matched only by the band’s frontman. The result is a blend of old and new: a record that makes room for traditional influences, progressive energy, cover songs, originals, and unreleased material.

Tyminski has released the first single from the project, the previously unreleased “Whiskey Drinking Man.”

“Why would I settle down when I’m this good at ramblin’ ‘round?” Tyminski sings in his unmistakable voice on the song’s opening line, setting the stage for the good-time, uptempo number that highlights his stellar band of young musicians as much as it does his commanding vocal performance. Cascading from verse to verse, solo to solo, Tyminski and company wrap up “Whiskey Drinking Man” right on the raucous edge of control, it seems, though a quick and tidy ending reminds listeners that it is all by design and this is one of the finest outfits touring today.

Dan Tyminski: Live From The Ryman will be released on August 16th. Tyminski’s tour continues in August with Canadian appearances in New Brunswick and Quebec before heading back to the States for a slew of late summer festival appearances.
