The Nest Egg E.P

"You’ve heard him with Doprah and Nakey, but Ryan Fisherman is the perfect alt-country catch. Armed with soulful stories, Ryan puts a new spin on country".

"As I listen to The Nest Egg, I’m in awe. I hear a collection of tracks that have meant something, and have written themselves after emotive situations, whether they be about people or memories. With a sometimes strong and seductive baritone voice alike Nick Cave’s and a country inflicted twang, Fisherman is eclectic, and this EP is exactly as I suspected – an experimental piece, a showcase of his abilities."

- Chole Kay Richardson, Happpy

"Wake Up Son is the final track off The Nest Egg EP and the most steady. At its core it doesn’t stray, operating with a basic sense of rhythm. The ‘country’ layer is made up of sticky guitar and a gazing and earnest vocal delivery. For decorative measures, we hear a range of subtle piano and beefy guitar licks. It’s not a cardboard cut-out of how country music should behave though. The strength of the guitar towards the finale disturbs the calm, distancing the track from its original aims. It would be damaging if the playing wasn’t so thrilling - I suppose that’s what turns country into alternative."
