About the Artist
Clayton Ryan
Minnesota native Clayton Ryan is made of a different kind of soil. Building his career the hard way, without streaming buzz, label backing, or financial support, he has honed a powerful, homegrown voice by winning fans one stage at a time in honky-tonks and venues across the country.
A seasoned songwriter, performer, and multi-instrumentalist, Ryan’s work has appeared in TV and film, including NASCAR, Walker, NFL Sunday Night Football, and The Outdoor Channel, and he has shared stages with artists such as John Michael Montgomery, Jo Dee Messina, Collin Raye, Flatland Cavalry, and Liam St. John.
“It is Project 412’s mission to “Do Cool Stuff,” and that includes expanding access to live music while showcasing up-and-coming talent to a broader audience,”
