Mike Ryan is a country singer, songwriter, and guitarist from San Antonio, Texas. Ryan was born in 1988, and attended the University of North Texas, where he began performing publicly. After touring regionally, he released an EP, The First One, in 2010, and his debut studio album, Night Comes Falling, in 2012. He then signed a publishing contract with Sea Gayle Music, and released his second studio album, Bad Reputation, in 2014. Three songs from Bad Reputation—”Dancing All Around It,” “Wasting No More Whiskey,” and “Bad Reputation”—reached number one on the Texas country music chart, and Ryan was named New Male Vocalist of the Year in 2015 by industry association Texas Regional Radio. He released “New Hometown,” the lead single from his third studio album, in October 2016. In 2017, he released his third studio album, Blink You’ll Miss It. In 2021, his single, Can Down reached number five on the Texas country music chart.
8:30 PM – Wade Bowen
About Wade Bowen: Two decades and more than 4,000 shows into his career, Wade Bowen has become synonymous with country music, songwriting, and captivating live performances, and for good reason. An artistic descendant of American icons like Guy Clark, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Robert Earl Keen and more, Bowen is an important voice in a legacy of Texas troubadours stretching back more than 50 years. Texas Radio agrees, as he scored five awards at the 2025 Texas Regional Radio Music (T3R) Awards, including Male Vocalist of the Year and Single of the Year for the third year in a row.
Revered as one of the genre’s finest and most authentic modern voices, Bowen’s approach is rooted in tradition but also stands on the creative cutting edge. His focus remains on writing unique songs with a literary quality and shifting his sonic territory to match his life. More than a dozen albums have shown his musical diversity – including ten studio sets, four live collections, and an ongoing series of buddy-country hits with fellow Texan, Randy Rogers.
In 2024, the singer-songwriter released his tenth studio album, Flyin, showcasing his diverse musical range and hard-hitting songwriting, as well as a cast of respected features that add unique elements throughout. Following the album’s release, Billboard proclaimed Bowen a “Red-Dirt Leader,” while American Songwriter called it “a tour de force from a guy who doesn’t believe in being hemmed into a single genre.”
Bowen continues to perform more than 200 dates a year across the U.S., solidifying his dedication to connecting with fans through his live performances. There is no slowing down for the road warrior either, with a steady stream of festivals and tour dates lined up for 2025—which already included a run with GRAMMY, CMA and ACM Award-winning Singer-Songwriter Carly Pearce on the UK / EU leg of her hummingbird world tour this past February.
A philanthropist at heart, Bowen founded the Bowen Family Foundation, which has helped children and families in and around central Texas by raising more than $7 million for beneficiaries including March of Dimes Waco, CASA of McLennan and Hill Counties, City of West Disaster Relief, Boys & Girls Clubs of Waco, Inspiración, The Mentoring Alliance, and more.
