About Stephen Ryder
Stephen Ryder is a Canadian singer-songwriter blending outlaw country, southern soul, and a little gospel fire. His songs carry grit, heart, and honesty, built around a deep baritone voice and stories carved from real life. Whether he’s writing about redemption, heartbreak, or the small sparks that keep people going, Stephen leans into raw emotion and simple truth. His upcoming album Delta Dusk & Soul pulls together everything he’s known for: rootsy guitars, smoky vocals, and lyrics that feel lived-in. Tracks like “Night Train To NOLA” “Riders In Love” and “Good Morning My Love” show the full range of his style, from rugged and defiant to warm and uplifting. Stephen writes every song himself, working late nights after long days on the road with his dog Maggie. His music is personal, down-to-earth, and built to make people feel something real. Stephen is carving out his own lane in the indie country-soul world one story at a time.
