Monika Ryan - Album Release - Delightfully

About

MONIKA RYAN — Delightfully Album Release Live Performance Event Jazz vocalist and songwriter Monika Ryan celebrates the release of Delightfully, her latest album of 14 all-original compositions — and a record that radiates with hope from first note to last. Moving through buoyant swing, breathtaking intimacy, Latin fire, and soulful groove, the music is rooted in a philosophy of emotional health and intellectual curiosity: honest, warm, and unwaveringly optimistic. A "modern traditionalist" described by Honk Magazine as a "sterling example of how even 'trad' jazz can sound both timeless and brilliantly new," Ryan brings something rare — original music that feels like it has always belonged in the songbook. Joining her for this special evening: her ensemble from the recording pianist Steve Einerson, bassist Neal Miner, and drummer Joe Strasser — longtime collaborators whose chemistry runs deep. Delightfully is out August 28th, 2026 on Resensitize Records. One Flight Up | New York Financial District Listed by WBGO Live Jazz.
