Ryan not Bryan – Steve Parker
David Ryan Adams is an American singer-songwriter, musician and producer. He is best known for his prolific solo career, during which he has released fifteen albums. He was born in 1974 in Jacksonville, North Carolina USA and was a member of alternative country band Whiskeytown with whom he released three albums before going solo.
At a concert in 2002, someone in the audience jokingly yelled out a request for “Summer of ’69,” a hit by the similarly-named Bryan Adams which he did not take well. In 2015, Ryan, who had since become friends with Bryan, played “Summer of ’69” at the end of a performance at the same venue.
