#flashbackfriday A year ago from yesterday changed my life! I wouldn’t have discovered the @judystakee retreat had I not posted about this on Instagram! Coincidence? Probably, but I’d like to think otherwise. I’m no longer religious, but I do believe everything happens for a reason, and some higher power must be putting me through weird situations so I can share my stories in song. Thanks Mom and Dad for this early 30th Birthday gift last year and @sherylcrow for an awesome experience! . . . . #NickRyan #singer #songwriter #singersongwriter #recordingartist #music #musician #musiclife #alternative #pop #rock #folk #country #rnb #blues #grammys #supportmusic #indie #indiemusic #virginia #DMV #artist #artistlife #acoustic #rockstar #rockstarlife #songwriterlife #sherylcrow #wolftrap (at Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts)
