“Dart comes across like a playlist from the countryside”
Ryan Dart “If Love Don’t Break You”
(Spring 2026)
Coming this spring! — Ryan Dart returns with his most honest work yet.
Farmer. Father. Musician. Painter. Dart’s music is rooted in the life he lives — love, loss, heartbreak, and hard work beneath the Rocky Mountains.
Born in Colorado and raised in rural Arkansas, Ryan’s sound blends the grit of country and the soul of rhythm and blues. Think Dylan, Cash, Van Zandt, Waits, Petty — with a touch of Fats Domino and Bill Withers.
After years touring with acts like Rose Hill Drive, Dinosaur Jr., and Ryan Bingham, Dart settled north of Denver to raise his son and start Dart Farms. His 2022 album Edge of the Wild showed his growth as a songwriter — but personal heartbreak followed. Now, he’s back with If Love Don’t Break You — a 14-song “Divorce Album” that dives deep into the emotional landscape.
Featuring Texas fiddle legend Richard Bowden and an all-star lineup including Nate Barnes, Daniel Sproul, Bridget Law, and Charlie Rose of Elephant Revival — this record balances sorrow with surprising joy. It’s raw, real, and fully human.
