Ryanhood — artist
Ryanhood is a two-man independent folk rock band formed in Boston, Massachusetts and currently based in Tucson, Arizona. They were established in 2003 by Cameron Hood and Ryan Green, the band's moniker itself being a portmanteau of its members' own names. Though they are primarily known for their acoustic blend of folk, rock, and pop influences, Ryanhood has also incorporated electric instrumentation on albums like After Night Came Sun and The World Awaits. In the fifteen years since their inception, Ryanhood has gained national praise touring with the likes of renowned artists such as Jason Mraz, American Authors, Train, Lifehouse, Jay-Z and Kelly Clarkson. In 2009, the band generated further acclaim following Ellen DeGeneres tweeting about them. They have performed over 800 times throughout the United States and were named "Best Group/Duo" at the 2014 International Acoustic Music Awards (IAMAs). As of 2018, the band has released six full-length studio albums and one live album. In 2013, Ryan Green debuted a solo album called Running In Circles under the stage name The Great Collision. It was released on Green and Hood's own imprint, Four Miles Music.
