Ryan Adams, not Bryan, Sings “Run to You”!

Singer-songwriter Ryan Adams has been dogged through his career by his name’s similarity to singer-songwriter Bryan Adams, sometimes showing his anger at fans requesting Bryan’s song, “Summer of ’69.” A few days ago, though, Ryan Adams embraced the joke, covering Bryan Adams’s “Run to You” from 1984’s Reckless. And Ryan did not just play a few bars, he played the whole darn song.

Ryan Adams is known for playing a wide variety of musical styles, and the fans at Arlington Theater in Santa Barbara, California on Wednesday, October 1, 2014, showed they really love him when he plays some 1980s pop. Check it out.
