American blues and roots musician prepares for November performances as he introduces new music from his forthcoming album American Exile.
American guitarist, singer, and songwriter Bart Ryan will open four concerts for acclaimed blues guitarist Ana Popovic during her November 2026 tour in France.
The performances will take place at Noumatrouff in Mulhouse on November 10, Le Belvédère in Hoerdt on November 12, Halle Verrière in Meisenthal on November 13, and Le 112 in Terville on November 14.
The shows come as Ryan prepares his forthcoming album American Exile, inspired by his experiences travelling and touring in Europe, as well as the political turmoil in his home country.
Over the past four months, Ryan has released four songs through Symphonic Distribution.
Angel of Amsterdam draws on an experience while touring in the Netherlands, when a severe late-night rainstorm led to an unexpected encounter with a woman who came to his rescue.
My Heart Is a Traveler explores the tension between being in love and spending much of life on the road, while Something Like That captures the excitement and sleepless nights that can follow a first meeting.
The fourth song, Everything Is Earned, takes a more political direction. Built around the line “Nothing here is given, everything is earned, it reflects Ryan’s belief in standing up for democracy.
Together, the four releases offer an introduction to the personal and political themes behind American Exile.
