Rye and I met at a battle of the bands in my hometown about...6 years ago? Crazy! He was a senior in high school then, and I was a senior in college. I thought he was insanely talented (because he is) and it led me to support his local shows and actually end up guest singing with his band the Goodfruits at a local venue called Cyber West Cafe (which was an awesome place that unfortunately closed recently...). There's a recording of that on YouTube that is actually decently interesting where we do the Pokemon theme amongst many other things.

Anyway, Rye recently moved to Nashville and has been digging into the scene with success in my humble opinion. Was great to catch up. Wish him the best and look out for him on the Nashville STAGES! Also go to his bandcamp!
