Ryanhood at Old Sloop Presents – Eva James opens

Named ‘Best Group/Duo’ in the International Acoustic Music Awards, Ryanhood got their first break more than a decade ago as street-performers at Boston’s Quincy Market. It was there that they were spotted by a college booking agent and thrust into the college touring scene, where Campus Activities Magazine would name them “one of the most requested acts by college buyers all across the country.” They’ve since gone on to perform more than a thousand shows in 46 U.S. states over the past decade, and have shared stages with Jason Mraz, Matt Nathanson, Train, and many more.

Eva James’ voice embodies both complexity and strength. Her music conjures a delicate balance of haunting beauty and raw vulnerability, drawing listeners into a world where shadows reveal their own kind of light.
