For Higher

2012

Produced by Galactic's Ben Ellman, For Higher was recorded at Fudge Studios in New Orleans for two long days and nights in May of 2011, on the heels of Jazz Fest. Ben assembled an all-star session band featuring George Porter Jr. on bass, Ivan Neville on keys, Anders Osborne on guitar and Simon Lott on drums. The end result is a handful of originals (including one co-write with Eric Krasno of Soulive) and some choice, deep covers.

Live at Life is good

2011

The band's first official live album, recorded on August 18th, 2011 in the Life is good store on Newbury Street in Boston. A portion of every copy sold will be donated to the Life is good Playmakers, who provide training, resources, and support to the adults dedicated to caring for children facing life-threatening challenges.

Heavy on the Vine

2010

The band's first studio release in three years features stripped-down arrangements of 14 new songs, all produced by Martin Sexton. Just before the boys left on tour as Martin's opener and backing band in the spring of 2010, this record was recorded at Camp Street Studios in Cambridge, MA.

Stages: Volume II

2009

These songs were recorded live during a five-city solo tour in the northeast U.S. in the spring of 2009. The final track “More and More and More” being the only exception was recorded at Crit Harmon's studio in July of '09. From one fantastic little venue to the next, these stages of development are presented for your enjoyment.

Patience on Friday

2007

The band returned to a little farm in Woodstock, NY in early 2007 to begin work on this second studio release. From bare vocals with lush string arrangements, to modern rhythm and soul, to two-beat gypsy jazz-like numbers, this album holds up as one the band's finest works to date. Adding to the mix are a few string arrangements by the legendary Karl Berger, along with a host of incredible guest musicians, making this the must-have album for all fans of the band.

One Fine Color

2006

Released back on Valentine's Day in 2006, this was Ryan Montbleau Band's debut studio effort. The guys spent over two years playing more than 400 shows leading up to the recording of this album at Applehead Recording in Woodstock, NY. Featuring some of the most-requested staples in the RMB catalogue to date, this album is essential listening for those interested in the band's jumping-off point.

Stages

2003

A live solo-acoustic album bringing together some of Ryan's best performances from early 2003. From a coffeeshop, to a small club, to a large theatre, all of these stages are presented for your enjoyment. Includes the highly-requested-but-no-longer-played “Substitute Teacher Blues” back from when Ryan was still teaching as well as a bonus studio recording of “Honeymoon Eyes.”

Begin.

2002

Ryan's very first album, which is currently out of print though available exclusively in MP3 format. If you're one of those crazed fans who just needs to have a real copy, try breaking into Ryan's house to steal one. There's no guarantee he has any left, but if you ask nicely, maybe he'll perform the whole album for you in his bedroom.
