Ryan Laird is a 2-time Canadian Country Music Awards and Canadian Radio Music Awards nominated recording artist. He has been winning over audiences across North America performing at festivals, theatres, weddings, resorts and various concert events for two decades and counting! His live show is something special. Putting a modern, original twist on classic, recognizable songs is where he truly shines. He is charming, high energy, and his guitar chops are out of this world, making his performances unforgettable.

This bold move attracted major media attention across North America, with Swift herself taking notice and number one country radio personality Blair Garner labeling Ryan "The Voice of Country Future" after Ryan's performance on syndicated radio show "After MidNite".
Ryan has since had the opportunity to collaborate with many other artists and writers including international superstar Nick Carter of THE BACKSTREET BOYS. He was also invited as the exclusive opening act for country music legend ALAN JACKSON on his recent Canadian tour following the success of Laird's top 10 debut single "I'm Your Man".
In 2014, Laird co-founded “BiggerThanThat!™”, an anti-bullying and youth empowerment movement, to date reaching over 400,000 children through a nationwide tour. “BiggerThanThat!™ invites kids to have a voice.
