Ryan Adams is an alternative country/indie rock singer-songwriter and musician also known for his work with the band Whiskeytown. Born in Jacksonville, North Carolina, Adams began his music career in local bands before gaining prominence with Whiskeytown in the mid-90s, releasing several critically acclaimed albums, including Faithless Street (1995) and Strangers Almanac (1997). He released his debut solo album, Heartbreaker, in 2000, receiving widespread acclaim with songs like “Oh My Sweet Carolina” and “Come Pick Me Up.”

Adams’ personal life and career have been marred by both critical success and controversies. In 2019, several women, including singer-songwriter Phoebe Bridgers, accused Adams of emotional abuse and manipulative behavior, leading to significant public scrutiny and professional setbacks.

He has released four albums in 2024: Sword & Stone, Star Sign, Heatwave, and 1985.
