Goode's Armadillo Palace presents Ryan Turner.

After several years of improving his craft and singing solo on the Texas music scene, Ryan Turner  is establishing quite a following. He is a versatile and soulful Austin-based singer/songwriter who holds a compellingly different perspective on contemporary country music. After packing his bags in Texas and moving to Nashville, Turner spent his time in Nashville writing, producing new music and fine tuning his craft. RT has returned to his home State of Texas with a new album in hand and a new Texas tour in the works.

The new CD by RT, "Taking My Sweet Time" shows the maturity and growth in this talented song writers' abilities. Turner, now residing in Austin, Texas, made quite a name for himself here in Texas before moving to Nashville. With Texas being his home, and the eagerness to return to the Texas music scene and the many fans he has here in Texas, RT headed back to the Lonestar State with new music and new insight on writing his own style of great Texas music.

During his high school days in the small prison-town of Gatesville, Texas, Ryan picked up his first guitar and started writing songs. His musical tastes were shaped from a variety of influences. Classic sounds from the likes of Creedence Clearwater Revival, the Beach Boys, John Mellencamp, the Beatles, the Eagles, George Strait and Tom Petty have all made their impact on Ryan.
