Smith gives solace to the post-college crowd with songs of drinking, fornicating and even an occasional love-longing ballad. Despite standard singer / songwriter fare, the lyrics are anything but re-tread, offering a refreshing glance into the mind of a talented - and occasionally disturbed - writer. Set over some catchy tunes, Smith's work offers a band-aid for "welcome to real-life" melancholy.

"Ryan Smith's new CD, 'Neil Avenue', is a giant leap forward...the latest showcases much stronger songwriting, playing and singing-especially on the standouts 'Fifteen Minutes' and 'California'." --- Chad Painter, Other Paper (Columbus, OH)

"...jangly, layered pop, and Smiths breathy sing-talk evokes Nikki Sudden. Suddens dark side was something a listener could feel, but Smith keeps things on the sunny side." --- Aaron Beck, Columbus Dispatch (Columbus, OH)

"...soulful Americana-flavored Rock songs..."---Mike Breen, CityBeat (Cincinnati, OH)

"Smith is a great singer/songwriter...Book this fella into a club near you soon."---Eric Leighton, Athens News (Athens, OH)
