Ryan Davis & The Roadhouse Band Announce New Album ‘New Threats From The Soul’

Ryan Davis & the Roadhouse Band will release a new album, New Threats From The Soul, on July 25 via Sophomore Lounge/Tough Love. The band shared the sprawling, nine-minute title track lead single featuring Freakwater’s Catherine Irwin on backing vocals.

The band led by Louisville-based visual artist, multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Ryan Davis released their debut album, Dancing On The Edge, in 2023. The new album sees Davis supported by his bandmates, Will Lawrence (drums/piano/vocals), Elisabeth Fuchsia (viola/violin), Seth Manchester (percussion/sub bass/software programming), Jim Marlowe (bass/saxophone/dood/ebow), Christopher May (pedal steel/resonator) and Aaron Rosenblum (violin/sampling keyboard/tape loops).

Ryan Davis & The Roadhouse Band recorded New Threats From The Soul with Seth Manchester in late 2024 and early 2025 at Machines With Magnets in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Along with Irwin, the album features backing vocals by Will Oldham (Bonnie “Prince” Billy), Lou Turner, Jenny Rose and Myriam Gendron, along with instrumental contributions from Turner (flute) and several others.
