"After listening to some of Chicago singer/songwriter Ryan Herrick’s music, a couple of things stand out: He plays with a lot of passion for the material he sings about and he’s a gifted guitarist who can manipulate the strings to his will." -Music. Defined.

Sagitta was recorded nearly live, all in one day on Earth Day 2017.
The music and lyrics on this record are a new step in songwriting for Ryan-- taking a much more direct and intimate approach while working with a band to produce a fully fleshed-out sound. Many of the songs are political; touching upon issues of Native American rights, the destructive fossil fuel industry, and political disillusionment. Spirituality still remains remains a lyrical focus and driving force behind his music-- speaking about challenges we all face as we grow and change inwardly, as well as the sacredness of all living things.
The Pre-Order of this record helped raise funds and awareness for Conscious Alliance, a Boulder-based organization that provides assistance to marginalized Native American communities in crisis through youth empowerment and hunger relief.
