The Drop: Ryan Beatty +

+ American Express® Card Members can purchase tickets from Thu 6/25 10:30AM through Sat 6/27 11AM. The Grammy Museum is thrilled to welcome critically acclaimed artist Ryan Beatty to the Museum's intimate 200-seat Clive Davis Theater for an evening discussing his newest album, Sweet Fortune, and his creative process, plus a special performance. For nearly a decade, Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Ryan Beatty has reinvented himself time and time again, traversing the spectrum of the pop world and beyond. He continues to push the envelope with his highly anticipated fourth album, Sweet Fortune, out June 26 via Atlantic Records, co-produced by Beatty and frequent collaborator Ethan Gruska. Sweet Fortune expands upon the sound of Ryan’s past releases, creating a genre-defying body of work that feels truly timeless. Beatty introduced the new era with single “Secret Language,” a warm, sun-dappled track that captures the early, overwhelmed-yet-tentative moments of new love when you are afraid to say what you really mean. Following the album’s release, Ryan will embark on the Arms Over Armor Tour this fall, hitting venues across North America and Europe before closing in November. First gaining notoriety for delivering hooks for artists like Brockhampton and Tyler, The Creator, Beatty soon garnered acclaim for the confessional indie-tinged pop of his 2018 debut Boy In Jeans. In 2020, a more heartbroken yet adventurous sophomore outing called Dreaming Of David followed. At the same time as Beatty was increasingly revered for his pop acumen in his work with other artists, his own music became searching, quieter, more reflective. An initial trilogy of albums chronicling a journey of self-realization and artistic experimentation culminated in the pivotal Calico, on which Beatty found a new voice by returning to the formative influences of classic American songwriting. He also earned critical acclaim from Rolling Stone, Variety, i-D, Billboard, FLAUNT, and more. Amidst tours
