Ryan A Roth & The Sideshow

Ryan A Roth and the Sideshow is an original Americana band from NW Ohio. The Sideshow plays both cover songs and original music. They travel bars, events, and restaurants regionally in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee. Their style is unique, a bit rowdy, full of energy, and pulls in a wide variety of people. The Sideshow has created quite the following of fans and it continues growing larger.

Ryan still prefers staying in the roots of music, "there’s something to be said for being in a room and feeding off of one another, feeling the energy of the music not just playing it." Ryan started out as a solo musician playing guitar, suitcase kick drum, tambourine, and singing, but it wasn't long before that train started having others jump on for
the ride. It quickly becomes apparent why when you sit down and take a moment to listen to Ryan A Roth and the Sideshow play, truly a beautifully chaotic train wreck every night. Guitars strumming, suitcase drum kicking, tambourine tapping, banjo picking, mandolin playing, harmonica blowing, and a red bearded rooster crowing his night away. Blues, folk, and rock all come barreling in together to create an experience like none other drawing all those listening watching in.

Come see Ryan A Roth and The Sideshow for yourself, guarantee you won't want to walk away and will be eagerly awaiting the next time they come into town! Come follow them as they go rollin' on down the line on Facebook and Instagram.
