RYAN GRIFFIN - Broke - Red Street Records

Fast-rising country music artist Ryan Griffin has released his first new tune of 2025, one that will demand the attention of the industry while introducing a new side to the #1-charted songwriter.  “Broke” is available now, both digitally and on all streaming platforms, via Red Street Records.

As is the case with any talented and accomplished professional, the ability to continually offer something new to the listener while also instilling those elements that we know, love and expect from each release is what makes an artist like Ryan Griffin such a rarity.  His confidence and excitement aimed towards each release is transparent and honest, most evidently admitted with regards to his latest effort.

“’Broke’ is my new whiskey-soaked anthem about love lost and the cost of moving on,” Griffin said.  “It captures the sting of a breakup with a melody that’ll have you raising a glass and singing along.”

A twangy, rootsy musical approach demands the attention of the listener from the onset.  The toe-tapping, head-bobbing melody immediately hooks and reels us in, with Griffin’s confidently-spirited vocal delivery takes the song to the next level.  His plethora of gifts as a songwriter takes the forefront on this track, as it has in the past with his previous releases, but not to be overstated is the down-home, country rock nature of this banger is simplistically ingenious. 

“So ready set go

Pull the bottle down, baby, let it flow

Till every dollar and your memory’s up in smoke

Run my tab up high

I’ll be sipping till my

Heart ain’t the only thing broke”

“Broke” follows “Old Times Sake”, his last tune released from 2024.  As Red Street Country’s flagship artist, Ryan’s brand new music has been demanding the attention of the industry around the world since the release of his 2023 EP, ‘Phases’.

Having moved to Nashville to chase his country music dreams at just 17 years of age, Ryan has quickly made a name for himself as a singer, songwriter, and entertainer with unrelenting grit, passion, and talent.  He scored a #1 song as a co-writer on Kelsea Ballerini’s hit “Dibs” and has shared the stage with some of the biggest acts in the genre today, including Lady A and Old Dominion.

In a short time as part of the mainstream country music world, Griffin has made a name for himself across the industry with his honest voice, impeccable songwriting, and fearless attitude.  A hard-worker with a passion for the genre, the talented and accomplished singer-songwriter continues to take his career to the next level with top-notch releases and sharing the stage with the biggest stars.  Paving the way for his own music story, Griffin looks poised to make 2025 the most successful of his career.
