Ryan Shupe and the Rubberband, Feb. 4, 2020

Ryan Shupe is roaring back with his new album "We Rode On," which marks a striking career transition and a meaningful evolution in Shupe's songwriting, his life and the band's sound. It strongly and deftly combines the rock side of their musical arsenal with the acoustic instruments and virtuosic jamming the band has become known for in their live shows.

Like a mad musical scientist (and father/husband), Ryan Shupe recorded, arranged and tweaked the band's newest creation in his personal studio.

"I wanted to create a new sound and an evolution for the band's music," Shupe said. "It's the best album we've done and definitely the most rocking!"

Being a fifth generation fiddler, as well as an accomplished electric guitar, acoustic guitar and mandolin player, Shupe has been touring extensively across the US since he was 10 years old. He is no stranger to the national stage, and the band has appeared on Good Morning America, E! TV, Mountain Stage, Woodsongs, GAC and CMT.

They continue to tour regularly with stops at festivals, concert series, special events and prestigious venues. Bringing a national team together with radio, marketing, social media, and publicity, the band will continue touring nationally to promote the album, starting with the regions where they have a strong following.
