Tickets for the No Days Off Tour are on sale today at 10am wherever you live. The band and I are coming. Old songs, new songs. You yell out a song request, we play it (not guaranteed). You yell out a question about your love life, we discuss it. I sincerely hope you can make it.

Yes
You ever just sit in a dark room and feel like the darkness is the only thing that truly understands you. No fake smiles, no false hope. Just raw bitter silence…

Brand new song. Brand new Don. “Happy Belated” is out October 23rd. A song about figuring things out a bit too late. It features the one and only Charlotte Cornfield. You can pre save it right now, and please do.

I’m very sorry to announce that due to an array of unforeseen circumstances my Fall European dates (October 8th - October 20th) have been cancelled. My apologies to everyone who’s bought tickets - it’s frustrating to have to do this. I greatly appreciate you caring.

Made my Opry debut on Saturday. What thrill, and so nice to have so many friends in the dressing room making jokes. Thank you to the Grand Ole Opry for letting me sing my two good songs, and, listen, I’m available as a regular. I have no plans. 📸: @Ryanolan

Finished a month supporting @thepaperkites last night in Los Angeles. What a pleasure. The band and their crew all so competent and confident in their endeavours. Touring’s not easy, but it can be much easier with the right group of people. It’s inspiring to see folks achieve it.

The words of @DonovanWoods are wise counsel for any songwriter: "A good song asks questions rather than provides wisdom," and "When I have writer's block, it's because I'm not reading enough." Loved having him on the pod! songwritersonpodcast.com/don…
