BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville’s rising duo Ryan and Rory are back with a freewheeling ode to small-town temptation in their latest release, “Girls Are Pretty,” out now. Listen HERE.
Co-written with and produced by Grammy award-winning hitmaker Chris DeStefano, “Girls Are Pretty” trades neon lights for pine trees, hand-me-down trucks, and gravel roads that lead to a whole lotta heaven. The playful, pedal-down release is built to be a soundtrack for Friday nights and backroad drives. With hooks as undeniable as their harmonies, Ryan and Rory lean into the spirit of youthful adventure and small-town charm that has quickly become their signature.
"’Girls Are Pretty’ is about hometowns,” says Ryan Follesé. “I left mine for the big city; however, once I got settled, I couldn't wait to get back home. 'Girls Are Pretty' celebrates the magnetic pull of hometown memories.”
With standout releases like “Together Again (feat. Jamey Johnson)” and “Them Boots,” plus a growing list of major tour credits, Ryan and Rory are steadily carving out their own lane in country music. Blending legacy, charisma, and undeniable hooks, the duo’s breakout year shows no signs of slowing down. “Girls Are Pretty” is the next chapter in their story and proof that when the pedal’s down and the hook hits just right, country music’s future is already here.
Having already toured alongside Sam Hunt, Jamey Johnson, Brett Young, and Tyler Braden, the duo will continue building momentum this fall as they join John Morgan and James Barker Band on the road.
“The crowds in Canada were incredible earlier this year, and we’ve been itching to come back,” says Rory John Zak. “We couldn’t be more stoked to hit the road with James Barker Band for round two, and then kick off the party out west with our buddy John Morgan the day after Thanksgiving.”

About Ryan and Rory:
BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville’s breakout duo Ryan and Rory “are bursting onto the scene” (Country Swag) with their self-titled debut EP & viral momentum to match. Named a SiriusXM Highway Find, their high-energy track “Pour Decisions” launched the six-song project, which includes the Billboard “must-hear” anthem “This Town.” They’ve continued to build buzz with “What’s Mine Is Yours,” a standout ballad, & the rowdy fan-favorite “Truck Stop,” now shifting into high gear with a growing online following. Ryan Follesé, an American Music Award winning Nashville native & 2X PLATINUM-selling songwriter, brings a legacy of success as the former frontman of Hot Chelle Rae. Rory John Zak, a powerhouse vocalist & multi-instrumentalist from North Carolina, delivers harmonies & a magnetic live presence built across 300+ shows annually. They’ve toured with Sam Hunt, Jamey Johnson, Brett Young & Tyler Braden, made a celebrated debut on the Grand Ole Opry stage, & were praised by MusicRow as “poised to make major waves on the country music scene.” With “commercial polish & honest storytelling” (The Tennessean), Ryan and Rory are “the next heir apparent to the country duo throne” (Country Swag), & “poised to be a staple on countless playlists” (PopCulture). Their latest releases showcase both heart and fun: “Together Again (feat. Jamey Johnson),” a decades-in-the-making, cross-generational collaboration, and “Them Boots,” a swaggering anthem that has audiences turning any empty space into a makeshift dance floor. Adding to the momentum, the duo delivers a freewheeling ode to small-town temptation with “Girls Are Pretty,” a playful, pedal-down track that makes every gravel road feel like a whole lotta heaven. Ryan and Rory will continue building on that buzz this fall as they hit the road with John Morgan and James Barker Band.
