Ryan Shupe: Building a Positive Counterculture

Winning over live audiences has been Shupe’s natural-born talent since childhood. A fifth-generation fiddler, he started performing with his siblings at age 10. He formed the RubberBand with the idea of drawing from a pool of musicians who could wander in and out. However, certain members seemed to stick, and the band soon became a cohesive unit. Ryan Shupe & the RubberBand, took the long-running Telluride Bluegrass Festival in Colorado by storm, winning the live band contest. This launched them into the national music scene. After becoming regional favorites, they signed a deal with Capitol Records, and cut an album in 2005 called "Dream Big." The title song became the theme song of Amy Grant's TV show, Three Wishes.Ryan Shupe’s band plays americana, bluegrass, country, folk, rock. https://www.instagram.com/theryanshupe/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClv-fdBqOShy7t88ZtuQqIghttps://www.facebook.com/ryanshupemusic/
