Ryan Beaver is a young up and coming Texas Country music singer. For those of you not familiar, “Texas country” is a lil’ bit country with just a smidge of rock n’ roll. Ryan was recently selected to perform the National Anthem @ The Stockyards of Ft.Worth, Texas during the opening of the Red Bull X-Fighters event in front of 25,000ppl. I decided to ride with him and document the 36hrs of his life on the road with the band leading up to the fireworks. No fancy tour buses here, no roadies to load your gear, and no bottles of Cristal on the table. This is a real band.
