Depot Concert Series: Chris Koza with Sam Ryden

A 2001 St. Olaf graduate and 2005 Minnesota Music Award Best New Act winner. “He’s got a voice that’s reminiscent of a young Paul Simon and his music comfortably rides the line between pop and folk, boasting immediately memorable music matched against image-rich lyrics.” – Joe Nickell, The Missoulian.” Sam Ryden’s music is distinctively unbound by traditional stylistic categories and gives glimpses of the possibilities for this young singer/songwriter. Enjoy hook-filled tunes uniquely pressing together folk, acoustic blues, pop and gospel. Suggested donation: $15.
