Music Monday Featured Artist: Mike Ryan

Country music Singer-Songwriter Mike Ryan released his latest single ‘Die Runnin.’ The driving new single ‘Die Runnin’ is an evolved sound from Mike and the first taste of new energy from his forthcoming album Longcut, due out on Oct. 28th. 

Of the new single Ryan shared, “‘Die Runnin’ is kind of a damsel in distress type of song, there was obviously a love there that didn’t quite work out, but the guy is hearing that she may be having second thoughts so it’s like, ‘Don’t move. I’ll be right there!’ There’s an urgency about it that’s really cool, and it has this kind of rock & roll driving rhythm to it.”

Mike’s forthcoming album Longcut, is his first new album in five years set to release on October 28th. The album ushers in a sonic edge that signals growth for the artist and songwriter, confidently embracing his musical sensibilities and expanding his depth and craft as a songwriter. The 13-song collection is a masterful combination of up-tempo tracks that kick harder and ballads that pack even more emotional punch than ever before. Longcut displays a welcomed intensity and maturity that signals an elevated level for the singer-songwriter, one that demands attention.

Patrick OD O'Donnell

The moment a bull's gate swings open—that's when Patrick "OD" O'Donnell feels most alive. From his early days riding bareback through Arizona pastures to revolutionizing the bull riding industry as President of Bull Riders Only, OD has lived the Western lifestyle he now champions as Founder of Cowboy Lifestyle Network. Growing up in Casa Grande's sunbaked agricultural heartland, he didn't just learn about horses and ranching, he lived it daily, developing the instincts and grit that would later attract 4 million followers to CLN's authentic voice. After his baseball days at the University of Arizona, OD saw something others missed: bull riding wasn't just a sport, but was compelling entertainment waiting for the right vision. Between 1990-1997, his leadership transformed local rodeo competitions into sold-out arena events that changed Western sports forever. Today, that same pioneering spirit drives CLN's coverage of everything from championship rodeos to the quiet heroism of ranch life. When he's not building the digital home for cowboy culture, you'll find OD supporting Harris Brothers Charity Foundation, leading CLN’s 25-year Christmas Toy Drive for Arizona kids, or sharing his love of horsemanship with special needs riders through Arizona's own Horses Help. Living proof that authentic Western values still have the power to transform lives.
