Ryan Shaw to Tour With Joss Stone

With a combined total age less than many of their recognized contemporaries in the Soul genre, newcomer Ryan Shaw teams with Joss Stone for a cross-country tour later this year.

This is Ryan Shaw, the debut album from Shaw, will be in stores April 17, just before he plays the first show of the tour in Mashantucket, Conn. It seems the man can’t keep off the road, recently ending a round of dates with Robert Randolph and the family band.

Shaw is also a “4 to Watch” artist in next month’s Paste magazine.
