We couldn’t have asked for a better band to set the tone for our western-themed wedding welcome party! Their talent, energy, and ability to read the crowd were unmatched. They played an amazing mix of classic country and upbeat favorites that had everyone dancing and singing along. Not only were they incredible musicians, but they were also professional, punctual, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. They truly brought the party to life and made the evening unforgettable. We’ve received so many compliments from our guests about how much they loved the band. Highly recommend for any event!

The band performed for our private event—a 70th birthday. On time arrival, professionalism, and true passion for their skill really made them stand out. Several audience members got their cards and everyone was raving about the performance. Hope to have them for a future event.

Matthew Ryan Band was a big hit at our venue. They are one of the very few country bands we have booked, but they will definitely be on our list of returning country bands to book. We really enjoyed their versions of some great classic country hits!

This is my favorite country band in Texas. They actually do the real country music that makes people want to dance! I saw them perform at Little Rhein Prost Haus in downtown San Antonio and have been following them since. Matthew has the best voice I've ever heard and I recommend them!

I love real honky tonk music so it was a no brainer working with this band! My family and I had them perform for a private event after seeing them play in Beaumont. If you like true country music, then they are for you.

The Matthew Ryan Band is the best traditional country group I've seen. They do the real two-steppin' music that gets people dancing. Awesome band!

I can't say enough great things about The Matthew Ryan Band.
We hired The Matthew Ryan Band to perform at our private backyard party. They showed on time and were very professional. We asked them to play two-step honky tonk music and they honored our requests.
We will definitely be calling them in the near future to perform again at our next family gathering. If you are looking for a talented country artist and band. Look no further than hiring Matthew Ryan.
