Ryan Montbleau Band

Why T&S Likes them » Yes! They’re a bunch of talented local homeboys. Your first guess at Ryan Montbleau might be another Dave Mathews rip-off. After all, they both have the same band name structure (“The Name-of-Lead-Singer Band”) and some guy who plays some stringed instrument…violin…viola…something-or-other. But listen, and you’ll hear the difference.

Their sound is kind of folky with a dash of soul (a requirement by T&S standards), which is mostly attributed to Ryan’s honey-smooth vocals. We’ve provided some live tracks for you courtesy of the immensely rich Internet Archive.

The Official Word » “Emerging onto the national music scene from his home base of Boston, Ryan Montbleau has been described as something of a Martin Sexton by way of Van Morrison and Stevie Wonder. Yet Ryan Montbleau Band’s music is difficult to pigeon-hole or neatly categorize. It is original yet familiar--a fresh sound full of firmly-rooted ingredients, including Americana, folk, blues, ragtime and 70s R&B and soul. Whereas the band’s intriguing instrumentation and arrangements (not to mention top notch chops) help to create this unique sound, all is firmly anchored by Montbleau’s water-tight lyrics and unmistakable voice.”

about indie.soulful

Every now and then truth & soul uncovers amazing music. We wanted a special way to share it with you, so we created indie.soulful.

Our featured musicians usually:

  • are independent
  • are local to Boston
  • & got a whole lotta soul

Not all features will necessarily fit all three points mentioned above, and sometimes we may even throw something at you from left field. In the end, though, we just wanna spread the beautiful music in our hearts.*
