My loyal listeners…
First off, thank you for your support and for driving up my numbers as you have - it’s been amazing seeing how far and wide my music has spread because of you!
I have been fighting with my distributor for quite some time now as they have the ownership of some of my songs tied to other Ryan Barnes’ (same name, different guy), who has been receiving the royalties for the music I have created.  We have reached an impasse, and as they are unwilling to correct their system, I have no other option than to remove my albums from CD Baby (once an AMAZING company, recently purchased and have become…well…NOT and amazing company) and re-release them through another distributor.  If you’ve been following my journey, you’ll know this is going to be a long, challenging project for me.  I’m going to need to scale back my live performances tremendously while I try and get this resolved.
The good news is by doing this, I’ll be able to clean up previous recordings and so the sound quality will be much better…the bad news is the songs are going to disappear from your playlists on your streaming services eventually.
I’ll be sure to note here when the re-releases are coming up, and if you’d like you can re-add them to your playlists.
Thank you again for your loyalty and support - you’re the reason I keep playing!
Ryan
