Ryley Walker began his career in the early 2010s, after moving fromIllinois’ provincial town of Rockford, and settling into Chicago’s independent scene. After a slew of cassette and vinyl releases, Tompkins Square put out his debut album in 2014, which was then followed up by the Dead Oceans released "Primrose Green" a year later. His most recent album"Course in Fable"was released on his own Husky Pants Recordings label in 2021. Having toured with the likes of Richard Thompson, and with a supporting slot for Dinosaur Jr. forthcoming—as well as a tremendous Bert Jansch tribute show behind him, where in his hero Anne Briggs called him the ‘c word’—Walker has rubbed shoulders with the very best.
