Ryan McNally and his band find their inspiration from the south USA, performing music that is a mix of New Orleans Jazz and Country Blues. In 2017, Steppin’ Down South was nominated for Blues Artist of the Year at the Western Canadian Music Awards (WCMA). That year, Ryan also had the privilege and opportunity to perform for Prince William and Princess Kate during their Yukon visit. McNally plays the guitar, harmonica, mandolin, violin and banjo effortlessly and in his own signature style.
