The Green Musician

Ryan Mintz (founder) is a musician on a mission with a vision.  As a vegetarian, car-free, recycling eco-freak, he decided to approach his music career with the same set of values.  After releasing his very own eco-friendly CD, this singer/songwriter launched a national tour sans-automobile, relying mainly on Amtrak, Greyhound, and rideshares to get around.

When not touring or recording, Ryan is writing a book and giving workshops on greening the music industry, hoping to share practical ways for anyone in the biz to make a change or two.  His eco-advice has appeared in Music Connection, on Discovery Channel’s Planet Green, and on various websites.  And with recent speaking engagements at SXSW and Folk Alliance, Ryan is avidly building a network of green musicians.

Ryan’s biggest hope… that his green message will spread through the music industry like a #1 single, so musicians can help the planet live in hi-fi organic harmony.
