Catch Of The Week: Sage Ryder
Meet Sage Ryder from Hudson, New Hampshire!
Raw and soulful… Sage Ryder brings an edgy, yet laid back, vibe to his brand of original music. At just twenty three years old, this talented singer/songwriter has a long road ahead, but already has the tools and the drive to take him where he wants to go. A gifted guitarist, Sage added vocalist to his resume, not long ago. Inspired by his father, also a musician, and his guitar heroes, Ryder hit the road for Los Angeles in hopes of making his dreams come true.
Look for Ryder’s first album, Fix It When We Get There, coming soon!
