“Ryan and his band had a very fuzzy sound that was equal parts calming and energetic. There was something warm and welcoming about the overall vibe of their set that I feel really helped draw people in and up to the stage.”

“There aren't many songs that have been so quick to bring a smile to my face, but this one accomplishes it within the first few seconds. Minnesota-native artist Parachutes made his debut in 2022, and the turning of many heads followed quickly behind. I love this dude's ability to arrange music in such a fun and energetic way that feels so genuine to him as an artist. If you're looking for an underrated artist to watch for in 2023, Parachutes is the one.”

“I would say it's (Slip Away) a fantastically written single with a catchy hook and great vibes. Can't wait to see him play live again!”
