Country duo Ryan and Rory has signed with BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville.

Comprised of Ryan Follesé and Rory John Zak, the pair released the track “Pour Decisions” today (May 24). The tune will be featured on their self-titled debut EP, out July 26.

A Nashville native, Follesé is a chart-topping singer-songwriter and American Music Award (AMA) winner. Zak hails from Raleigh, North Carolina, and is a multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter who has played over 300 shows per year since he was 17. Follesé, son of established songwriters Adrienne and Keith Follesé,  co-wrote all six tracks on the duo’s upcoming debut, including five with his family, while Zak added instrumentals and harmonies to the project.

“Filling a much-needed space in the format, country duo Ryan and Rory are introducing themselves with a fresh sound on ‘Pour Decisions,'” shares JoJamie Hahr, EVP Recorded Music, BMG Nashville. “Ryan Follesé’s award-winning success and masterful songwriting paired with Rory John Zak’s multi-instrumental abilities and relentless passion for delivering captivating performances provides a firm foundation as we lean towards their debut, self-titled EP in July.”
