Taking the stage at just nine years old, Ryder Grimes grew up immersed in country music, influenced by legends like Merle Haggard and Randy Rogers. His debut single, “Velvet Chains,” became a Texas radio hit, followed by two No. 1 songs and a “New Male Vocalist of the Year” award. Now on his first cross-country tour, Grimes is collaborating with top Nashville songwriters and building momentum with his latest EP, Echoes of the Dial, proving there’s much more to come.
