Nashville, TN - April 14, 2022 — Breakout artist and multi-PLATINUM songwriter Ryan Griffin will deliver SLOW DOWN SUNRISE on May 6 via Red Street Records. Anchored by the undeniable single “Salt, Lime & Tequila” — which soared to No. 1 on Sirius XM The Highway's Hot 30 Countdown, was one of the most added songs at country radio upon its debut and has tallied nearly 14 million global streams — the six song project is available for pre-order now, here. An acoustic version of “Salt, Lime & Tequila” will be featured on the EP and a stripped performance of the song premieres exclusively with Sounds Like Nashville today, watch here.
With Griffin’s top-shelf vocal chilled and served fresh, the rising star returns with a renewed sense of purpose on SLOW DOWN SUNRISE — whether it’s to encourage fans they can persevere through hard times, or just remind them to soak up the sun while it shines. From the backyard breeze of his current single to standouts like “Closing Time," the project is chock-full of instantaneous tracks.
Ramping up momentum for release, Griffin has been tapped to play Stagecoach Music Festival on 4/29, Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam on 6/3 and CMA Music Fest at Ascend Park on 6/11. Griffin is also gearing up for an intimate performance on Breakthrough Live From Amazon Music —a weekly livestream series highlighting the best up-and-coming artists on the Amazon Music’s channel on Twitch and in Amazon Music mobile app — on April 26.

More than 10 years after proving he had the talent, the timing is finally right for Red Street Country artist Ryan Griffin. A Platinum-certified Number One songwriter (Kelsea Ballerini’s “Dibs” in 2015) the Florida native has previously created sparks of early connection, earning tens of millions of streams from soul-baring tracks like 2017’s “Would’ve Left Me Too.” Two deeply human EPs followed, mixing raw vulnerability with meant-to-be determination and landing Griffin’s supple, evocative vocal on “Ones to Watch” lists from Rolling Stone to AOL, AXS and more. But after two years of pandemic-related upheaval, his messages have become more relevant than ever – and he’s returning with a renewed sense of purpose. On a new batch of soul-mending country R&B, Griffin’s 2022 EP is built around courageous character and fire-tested faith, mixing equal parts encouragement and epiphany. Tracks like “Salt, Lime & Tequila” find Griffin’s top-shelf vocal chilled and served fresh, reminding listeners that life’s essential ingredients are easy to find. With even more compassionate, tell-it-like-it-is country on the way, his sophisticated style is just now emerging.
