Annalyse McCoy grew up in the hills of Eastern Kentucky and Ryan Dunn on the shores of New Jersey. Meeting on NYC, their first project 2/3 Goat was described in No Depression as “one fine ensemble” whose “every song [on 2016 album Let It Rise] is outstanding.”
Their music has led them across the US and Europe, from art houses to house concerts, from festival stages to college campuses, to gritty Lower East Side venues and more. In 2018, Annalyse & Ryan were among a handpicked few regularly-featured artists at the Grand Ole Opry’s Times Square venue, Opry City Stage.
