I am so grateful to for 15 years together!

Thanks KLOF Mag for the kind review:

"Ryan Wayne has delivered an Americana album that blends and balances so many different influences that it’s almost impossible to categorise. He has woven these songs with the skill of a musician who not only listens but incorporates different strands of music from the last 60 years. Functioning Dysfunctionals distinguishes itself by combining honesty with a pure passion for the form and function of music."

Ryan Wayne – Functioning Dysfunctionals The influences displayed on Ryan Wayne’s Functioning Dysfunctionals make it almost impossible to categorise, but it distinguishes itself by combining honesty with a pure passion for the form and function of music.

Thanks daMusic and Marc Goossens

"Just like on his debut, Ryan Wayne takes a dive into his psyche and that of his fellow man...The result is a colorful, versatile album full of musical stories, which at least equals its predecessor...(Crow Amongst The Sparrows) which might well have been the surprise of the year...just like last time, we still have to admit we don't know whether this is psychedelic folk, dreamy Americana, singer-songwriter with rough edges or something else that musicologists don't have a name for yet. Oh well, maybe we should just say that Ryan Wayne is slowly becoming a genre in itself" - Marc Goossens

Ryan Wayne - Functioning Dysfunctionals Net als op het debuut, neemt Ryan Wayne ook op de tweede langspeelplaat een duik in zijn psyche en in die van zijn medemens. Het resultaat is een kleurrijk, veelzijdig album vol muzikale verhalen, dat de voorganger minstens evenaart.
