We Had Good Times: Brave Country singer and 4x cancer survivor hero Ryan HamNer reminisces about that ‘Blank Stare Goodbye’

As he distinctly remembers the one September on that beautiful beach that lit his beating heart alive like fireworks, Ryan HamNer won’t ever forget the laughs and the wind blowing through her hair on his reflective new single called ‘Blank Stare Goodbye‘.

Ryan HamNer is an extremely courageous 4x cancer survivor and a soulful Columbus, Georgia-born indie Country singer-songwriter and esteemed author. He has a real story to tell that automatically makes your eyes water, as you feel his pain and totally admire his movie-like journey, to helping others who are facing the hard road he went down.

Growing up, Hamner underwent cancer treatment at ages 6, 9, 11, and 21. To cope, he focused on music, often recording his favorite songs off of the Weekly Top 40 to listen to on his Walkman during chemo sessions.” ~ Ryan HamNer

As he sings with such a sad tone about that day he wishes was real again, so he could see her close up and hear that cute laugh again, you feel the ever-lasting love to the one that got away. This is the remembrance anthem, that is important to deal with,  so that you may move into warmer waters again.

Other than recording music, Hamner also operates Bamba Box, a small gift box company that sends care packages to kids with cancer, foster kids, and other children going through hard times. Every Bamba Box recipient has a chance to win a virtual visit and concert with Ryan.” ~ Ryan HamNer

Blank Stare Goodbye‘ from the brave Columbus, Georgia-born Country artist and author Ryan HamNer, is a love lost story which he will remember forever. The moon was beautiful and he thought it would last forever, but sadly it didn’t.

Tell Me You Feel It Too: Norwood wants to be truly loved on ‘Maskerade’

As he casually scrolls on his phone so that that his lonely lips may feel alive and burning hot again with that perfect love to fill up the exhausting emptiness, Norwood thoughtfully wonders if he will find the one so that he may finally stop this pointless ‘Maskerade‘.

There’s nothing I love more than looking out into a crowd and seeing faces of every color, nationality, and gender smiling back at me. I try to make the world a more equal, inclusive place in my art and in my day-to-day life, so whenever I see that ideal mirrored in an audience, it’s always a special moment for me.”  ~ Norwood

He sings with such a passionate freedom which is so vividly welcoming, and has your formally sad soul feeling so enthralled again. There is a passionate urging in his voice for the walls to fall down, as he performs with such intent and that ultimate purpose.

My goal during every performance is for people to escape for a few hours, dance like no one is watching, and feel empowered to love themselves exactly as they are and express themselves freely.” ~ Norwood

This the story of wishing that the norm may return so that you can meet someone face to face, as the social distance is so weak and tiresome for your body, which needs some real love. You call for this to happen and are manifesting this to the stars, who are hopefully listening to your urges.

Maskerade‘ from the high-octane Atlanta, Georgia indie electronic artist Norwood, is a stunning release which is totally honest and remarkably relevant in this stagnate world. He is a real bolt of lightning into the world, that needs to be admired for its inspirational boost to us all.
