Live recordings · 2011–2012
Ryan
Hoopes.
One guitar. One voice.
A room that still holds the sound.
Live takes, kept close to the way they landed. The recordings play here. The words live in the songbook.
No overdubs. Just the room.
From the live archive
Guitar & voice, live.
The set
Let the songs
do the talking.
Pick a take. The player stays with you while you read, watch, or wander.
Finding the recordings…
The recordings will be here soon. In the meantime, there are words to explore in the songbook.
Made to be listened to. The player stays with you as you explore.
The rooms
Be in the room.
The hands on the strings. The voice behind the words. Filmed as they happened.
The next seat is yours. Live performance videos will appear here when they’re ready.
The songbook
Behind every song,
a story.
Lyrics from Ryan’s notebooks. Open a title. Stay with the words a while.

Opening the songbook…
The songbook is taking a moment. Please come back soon.
A note from the collection
There’s something about
a song played live.
A guitar, a voice, and the little things a room puts on a take — the stool, the mic, the air between notes. This is a place for Ryan Hoopes’ music: the nights that were filmed, the lyrics on paper, and the songs worth coming back to.
Stay for another song
