Nashville, TN (April 25, 2022) - Popular Canadian singer/songwriter
Ryan McMahon
marks his push to the U.S. Country radio market today via PlayMPE
with the upbeat and infectious
“One More Fire.”
Produced in Vancouver, British Columbia at Bryan Adams’
The Warehouse
studio by Jordan Pritchett and Danielle King,
the track features top-notch talent, including Scott Smith on Electric Guitar and Banjo (
Aaron Pritchett)
, Bryan Adams’ veteran Pat Steward on Drums, Jeremy Holmes on Bass and Mandolin (
Steve Dawson
), Darryl Havers on Organ
(Jim Byrnes)
and McMahon on Guitar. The result hits all the right notes with an eager ease and it’s as hooky as hell without being hokey.
Up to the place with the craziest views
I want to remember what brought me to you
One more fire, talking only in truths
I want to be happy
I want to be
Light me one more fire
sing a song of another time
tomorrow's on my mind
what's ahead of me is better than what's behind
(R. McMahon)
McMahon was inspired to write the song midway through the pandemic – when his creativity and “spark” were both lagging. “For a performer, the isolation really had an impact. This is the song that got me motivated again and I’ve been waiting for a chance to get into the hearts of people throughout North America. I want to be a part of what brings love, joy and happiness back into folks’ lives and I believe ‘One More Fire’ is my best chance to do that.”
With six Canadian album releases, years of touring, and commercial success under his belt, Ryan has earned a large following in his native Canada, the U.S. and beyond. He’s performed at the prestigious
Imperial Theatre
in Saint John, New Brunswick
,
Denmark’s
Tonder Festival
, countless nightclubs and other venues. McMahon has shared the s
tage with Lucinda Williams, Burton Cummings, Nickelback, Buffy Sainte Marie, Citizen Cope, Chad Brownlee, Pritchett, Dallas Smith and Brett Kissel among others.
Ryan’s songwriting skills have led to placement of several of his
tunes in television programs,
including
Californication
(“I’ll Be Damned”),
The Real Husbands of Hollywood
(“Double Life”) and
Chesapeake Shores
(“
Takes Me Away, “In Line for a Smile”)
. A commercial campaign for TET Tea in Poland, Russia and Ukraine featured his song “Freedom.”
