AMERICAN IDOL’S RYAN BAYSDEN ROCKS THE BLOCK, COUNTRY STYLE,
IN WINSTON-SALEM, NC BEFORE THOUSANDS OF FANS
A
virtually unpublicized CD Release Party turned into a major
concert event for Sonic Records Recording Artist, Ryan
Baysden, and pleased thousands of spectators at this year’s Rock The
Block Festival in Winston-Salem on Sept. 15, 2006. Ryan
made a brief splash on 2005’s American Idol and was even
complimented by Simon as being “The Ryan with Talent”!
His first
CD with Sonic Records entitled “What Turns You On” was less
than 2 hours old when fans (especially female) lined up to
purchase the CD. An estimated 4,000 fans crowded around the
small stage throughout the six (6) hour evening to see Ryan
perform all 10 songs from the CD.
Numerous
times, throughout the evening, Ryan brought out his guitar
and wowed the audience with a few cover songs, including
“Amarillo By Morning” by George Strait. It was his first
performance in Winston-Salem, which is about 4 hours away
from his hometown of Salter Path, NC
Before
the night was over, new fans were singing the words to the
catchy songs and some new followers were on the front row
for hours. Although all of the CD’s songs were well
received, it was “Politically Incorrect Redneck” that got
the party crowd rocking. Some spectators remarked that
Ryan’s performance drew larger crowds than many of the
previously publicized acts at the event, which had a total
of over 30,000 people.
Ryan was
so busy signing CD’s, and being photographed, that he
actually signed a few while he was singing. He captured the
hearts that night of a wide spectrum of kids, adults, males,
and females, Black and White. Even when he wasn’t
performing, new fans wanted to hang around to meet and talk
with him.
He was
also being videotaped for a DVD that will be released later
this fall. Fans would have stayed past midnight if the
police had allowed. It was a great kickoff for the new star!
American Idol’s Simon is correct; Ryan Baysden is “The Ryan
with Talent!”
His CD is
available now on
www.sonicrecords.com. The DVD will be released later
this fall.
