  • Ryan Tennis - In Concert - 7:30 pm-10:00 pm
    The charming authenticity of Ryan Tennis' sound has drawn comparisons to Paul Simon, Ryan Adams, and Martin Sexton, and has surprising likenesses for an All-American college football player turned singer/songwriter. While his disarming lyrics and singable melodies display a rare sensitivity, the intensity of his live performances hint at his grid-iron past.

    Tennis’ single “To The Moon” offers sweet strains and an optimistic message that has earned it repeat airplay on multiple formats, including WMMR and WXPN. He has since appeared on NBC's "The 10! Show" and 6abc's "Tuned In." In April, Tennis emerged atop more than 600 entrants in the Philadelphia Songwriters Project 2010 Contest, winning over a seasoned industry panel to take the prize. He has twice opened for Shawn Colvin, debuted with his band at the Philadelphia Folk Festival in August, and shared the stage with folk legend Ellis Paul. He has since been nominated by Origivation magazine and WSTW Hometown Heroes as Philadelphia's singer/songwriter of the year, and was selected as a finalist in Ireland's international Tipperary Peace Song Contest. Ryan is heading into the studio in the winter of 2012 to begin work on his first full length album. Learn more about Ryan at www.ryantennismusic.com/.
