Originally from Texas, Doc Ryan has moved through the western United States. He draws inspiration from years of an outdoor life on the rivers and in the mountains of Colorado, Utah, and now resides in Bend, Oregon. For most of his life Doc Ryan travelled with an acoustic Guild guitar and played more campfires than stages. Then in 2004, Doc and friends formed the band “One Night Only”. They (and others) began the musical event now known as “Church Of Neil” which celebrates the life and music of Neil Young. This event is now in its 11th year and continues to unite a large part of Bend’s music community. “One Night Only” became the “Docs of Rock” and for several years The Docs of Rock played fundraisers for Non-Profit and Charity events in Central Oregon. Doc Ryan began writing and producing his original music and released his first CD in 2013. This album includes the singles “Shakedown” and “Lava”, which are known for the simple melodies and messages that are well know to Doc Ryan’s original music.
Sleepless Truckers – Phillip Austin cut his teeth as a singer/songwriter from Oklahoma playing the Honkytonks and dive bars in Nashville. After paying his dues on Broadway and spending a few nights in the Davidson County Jail he set out on a grand adventure across the United States looking for a new place to call home. 10,000 miles, 18 states and 57 breweries later he was drawn to the wide open spaces of Central Oregon. Bend would be where the Great Plains Drifter finally threw out the anchor and put together an Outlaw Country band.
