Bio

Inspired by the 7000-foot elevation of his Flagstaff, Arizona home, Ryan Biter loves nothing more than taking audiences on adventures scaling emotional heights and depths.

Ryan Biter is the aimless, eccentric, tactless kid you went to school with growing up that you always kind of wondered what happened to after high school.With equal measures of irreverence, sharp insight, and vulnerability, Biter invites audiences to be open to our profound humanness. Weird, wonderful, and flawed.

The grit, soul,  and raw emotion of his voice has  drawn  comparisons to  Amos Lee , Chris Stapleton, and Teddy Swims.  His songs have the ear worm hooks and everyman  sensibility of Ed Sheeran, 2000s Country music , and Paul Simon. His expansive  finger style guitar work is reminiscent of Michael Hedges, Newton Faulkner,  Tommy Emmanuel, and John Butler.  

Think of him like a guitar slinging  Mr. Rodgers for messed up adults.
