Colorado Americana songwriter, producer, and touring veteran Ryan Dart’s new full-length album, If Love Don’t Break You, is a deeply personal collection explores themes of love, loss, resilience, time, and healing, shaped by divorce, the loss of his farm, falling in love again, and life as a single father.
Blending acoustic grit, soulful vocals, and roots-driven storytelling, If Love Don’t Break You finds Dart at his most reflective and confident. Drawing from both his Colorado and Arkansas roots, the album lives in the space between mountain country, Southern Americana, and modern folk.
“This record is about everything that happens when life breaks you down and builds you back up,” says Dart. “It’s about learning from mistakes, losing things you love, and still finding the courage to open your heart again. You gotta ride the bad horses before you know the good ones.”
