Comment: Perhaps the album "Choses Obscure' is notable, but I'm unconvinced Traster is with the sources present. Mach61 (talk) 14:14, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

Ryan Traster is an American songwriter and multi-instrumentalist based in Joshua Tree, CA. He got his start in music doing bass and vocals for the band Small Towns Burn a Little Slower in 2003.[1] Traster has opened for acts such as Red Wanting Blue, Old 97's, Chris Pureka, and Whitney Rose.[2]
Traster released his first solo EP The Tourists in 2010. The EP features Marc Perlman of The Jayhawks on bass. [3] The EP earned comparisons to artists like Grant Lee Phillips, and Josh Ritter. [4]
Since then, Traster has released several singles, EPs, and albums.
In 2019, Traster released his second studio album, Choses Obscures. The album was written after a long East coast tour that had injured his vocal cords, making him unable to perform for a period of time.[5] The album received coverage from The Big Takeover, a music magazine running since the 1980s. Choses Obscures evoked sound comparison to that of Neil Young/Crazy Horse.[6]
His most recent album, Low Mirada, features mixing and keyboard work from Chris Walla (Death Cab for Cutie, Pinegrove, Nada Surf).[7] Low Mirada gained comparisons to the likes of Elvis Costello, Graham Parker, and Robyn Hitchcock[8]
