Ryan McGarvey is a globally respected guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter whose career has earned not only an international fan base, but the admiration of his own musical heroes. Over the course of his luminous career, McGarvey has shared stages with legends including Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, B.B. King, Joe Bonamassa, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and many more—an achievement that speaks volumes about both his talent and reputation. McGarvey’s recordings have received critical acclaim worldwide, with reviewers praising his explosive yet nuanced guitar work—ranging from searing delta slide to hard-driving rock—his unmistakable vocal style, and his mature, emotionally resonant songwriting. His live performances are equally unforgettable: powerful, dynamic, and deeply engaging, leaving audiences breathless and eager for more. Rooted in early delta blues and classic hard rock, while seamlessly incorporating modern blues-rock influences, McGarvey’s sound is both timeless and forward-looking. In 2010, he and his band were hand-selected from over 4,000 artists worldwide to perform at Eric Clapton’s prestigious Crossroads Guitar Festival in Chicago. That invitation was followed by a return appearance at the 2019 Crossroads Guitar Festival in Dallas—performed in the midst of a demanding European tour. McGarvey also held a standing invitation for the 2023 Crossroads Festival in Los Angeles. His work has been featured in leading publications such as Guitar World, Guitar Player, Premier Guitar, Music Connection, Gitarist, Blues Magazine, Rock Times, Blues Review, and more. In 2013, he was named “Best New Talent” in Guitar Player Magazine’s annual Readers Choice Awards, and has since received numerous additional honors, including Hall of Fame status at the European Blues Awards. Backed by a formidable rhythm section often featuring A-list musicians such as Logan Miles Nix (John 5), Brant Leeper (W.C. Clark, Coco Montoya), and legendary bassist Carmine Rojas (David Bowie, Rod Stewart, Joe Bonamassa), Ryan McGarvey is entering an exciting new chapter. With a long-awaited comeback album on the horizon and national and international tours currently in development, McGarvey continues to evolve—expanding his loyal worldwide following and pushing his music to new heights.
