Barbara Ann Ryman (born February 3, 1951) is an American singer-songwriter and spiritual healer.[1]

Her first album, Winds of Good Fortune, was released in 1993, and she has since released six more albums: Lay Me Open (1995), Like A Tree (1998),[2] Falling Down to Heaven (2002), Earthbound (2007), Catch the Sunset (2012) and her most recent, Breathe (2019), respectively.

Musical career

Ryman began playing at Twin Cities coffeehouses[3] but as her career took off, she nationally toured the folk circuit playing at such venues as Boston's Club Passim,[4] her hometown's The Cedar Cultural Center,[5][6] Nashville's Bluebird Café, Portland's Folk Music Society,[7] and Texas' Uncle Calvin's.[8] Her music has since charted nationally on Folk-DJ’s top albums chart as well as on NACC. Ryman has been featured on The Midnight Special, a syndicated radio show, and The Morning Show. She headlined the first rural LGBT Pride, East-Central Minnesota Pride.[9] In 2006, the ABC TV show Sons & Daughters licensed Ryman's song, All American Dysfunctional Family.[10] Ryman had artist and album reviews published in the StarTribune,[11] and on TwinCities.com,[12] as well as national folk and world music media including Dirty Linen and Sing Out!. According to Sault Ste. Marie's SooToday.com, "Ryman lays insightful, witty lyrics into a rich mosaic of contemporary folk, gentle rock, and country blues, delivering it all with a clear, compelling voice. She gently charms every audience she meets with her sincerity and playful stage banter."[13]

Awards

Ryman was nominated for several music awards by the Minnesota Music Academy, including Songwriter of the Year and Folk Album of the Year.[14] She was past winner of the McKnight Composer Fellowship from the McKnight Foundation (2002).[10] In 2007, Ryman was a NewSong Showcase winner at the Walnut Valley Festival in the Feeling Good category with her song "Strawberry Pie".[15] She was a finalist in other competitions, such as at Big Top Chautauqua and at the Great River Folk Fest.
