Young Ritual, the Mid-Michigan based Indie-Alternative solo project started by singer-songwriter Dylan Grantham, *just* dropped his debut EP, You Can Be Beautiful, Too, and we’re ALL ABOUT celebrating this milestone. (Listen while you read.) If you’ve been following the blog, you already know Young Ritual has sparked our attention (and playlists) for months. I mean, this marks our THIRD post with Dylan this year! (If you’re like some people I know—*clears throat*—and prefer to work in chronological order, first read our mini-post about “Prime,” Young...

If you’re anything like us and LOVE finding lesser-known indie artists at the start of their ascent, this post is for you. Over the summer, my path luckily led me to see indie singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Cassi Nicholls perform, and I was blown away (so much so that I’ve seen her perform THREE times since).

Young Ritual, the Mid-Michigan based Indie-Alternative solo project started by singer-songwriter Dylan Grantham, just dropped “Prime”—the must-listen-to first single off his first EP, releasing this fall. (Listen while you read.) We had the opportunity to hear the reflective track before its shiny release today, and we knew—at first listen—that we wanted to secure a full-length with Dylan to uncover more details surrounding this single, the forthcoming EP, and the undoubtedly winding path that led him to launch Young Ritual. We’re elated to report we’ll be speaking...
