Details:
"Live From Malibu," the third independent release of up-and-coming Hoosier singer-songwriter Ryan Ahlwardt (pronounced "all-wert"), falls close upon the successful heels of his 2007 "The Malibu EP." Both albumsâ monikers pay homage to Young Lifeâs Malibu camp property in remote British Columbia, Canada where Ahlwardt performed during Summer 2007.

"Live From Malibu" features 12 live tracks captured during Ahlwardtâs weekly concerts at the beautiful wilderness retreat. The disc also highlights the seasoned guitar work, developed songwriting skills, and conversational sense of humor the multi-talented Hoosier native has become known for since his solo performance career took full flight in 2005.

Among the 12 tracks on Ahlwardt's "Live From Malibu," four new original compositions are included on the album:

âFollow Me,â a collaboration with Minnesotans â and fellow Malibu companions â Ben âBustaâ Dodds and Tuesday Roby,

âYou Said So,â a rhythmic piece that highlights Ahlwardtâs versatile falsetto in its chorus and poignant lyrical ability,

âWalnut Street Blues,â a tune reminiscent of an early James Taylor, which was written during Ahlwardtâs solo days in Bloomington, IN, and

âFalling Into You,â Ahlwardtâs encore at an intimate songwriterâs venue in Indianapolis during the Fall of 2006. This track is the first recorded public performance of the song, which Ryan, as if by a twist of fate, began writing and completed on the same date two years apart.

In addition to these new compositions, "Live From Malibu" includes Ryan's acoustic versions of such fan favorites as "Maybe On Another Day," "Windows Down," and "Turn My Head to Home" from his 2005 indie release "I Can See Forever."

"Live From Malibu" is a collection of songs which will be appreciated by fans of such acoustic singer-songwriters as James Taylor, John Mayer, Jack Johnson, Dave Barnes, Amos Lee, and more. The album, which is available exclusively in digital format, is evidence of Ahlwardtâs forward progression into becoming one of his generationâs most talented songwriters and live performers.
