Ryder
Get Up, Come On, Move On, I Feel Alone
When Jade Myconos sings, it’s a unique sound, both alluring and powerful, the songs beg for your attention, equally matched by the sound of the boys in her band. This is the sound of Ryder. Based in Melbourne but originally from North-East Victoria, their brand of ‘Urban Roots’ encompassing blues, country, folk and pop, has been impressing audiences at pubs and festivals across Victoria for the past two years.
‘Jade is one of those secrets you want to let all your friends in on - she has always inspired me to sing with soul, as she does so effortlessly.’ – Ella Hooper - Killing Heidi.
Slipping into the scene slowly in 2005 with a self titled duo EP, featuring Jade and the inspiring Greg Whitehead (Matt Joe Gow Band) on acoustic guitar, bottle neck slide, lap steel and vocals, Ryder immediately received regular airplay on Triple J’s ‘Roots n All’ and community radio Australia wide.
‘Ryder, music from the soul that melts your heart’ - Dallas Frasca
Soon after the EPs release, the Ryder sound was rounded out with the addition of double and electric bassist, Trent McKenzie (The Bentleys, Fourth Floor Collapse, Cat Walker & the Male Models) and the stick and brushwork of Mark Aird on drums.
‘An excellent, excellent album’ - John Carver - Across the Tracks - PBS FM
Ryder have performed and toured regularly across Melbourne and regional Victoria, at such venues as the Corner Hotel, the Espy, Cornish Arms and Federation Square, and festivals such as Folk, Rhythm and Life, Apollo Bay Music Festival and Wangaratta Drought Relief.
Past supports include: Bomba, Zoophyte, The Vasco Era, 67 Special, Dallas Frasca, Killing Heidi, Rambunctious, Jordie Lane, Liz Stringer, Downhills Home, Those Bloody McKennas & The Jaimi Faulkner Band.
