Biography
I learned to play guitar first year of college and was in a band THAT year. So, from the very start it’s been intertwined with performances, more than I could count. I learned to sing a couple years later. 10 years later… it’s my profession and I cannot be happier about it! Its unreal how personal singing really is! To share the positive vibes of live performance with you is my greatest joy. Its uncanny how sharing music creates fast friends of your audience, especially those I work with to make it happen from the start. I cannot wait to meet you and create a personalized experience f
... or your weddings and parties! What I do: I perform at Weddings, and any event you might imagine there being a live performance. I can and often play solo. For some, this is important detail. Keeping it simple is good for $$. One thing that differentiates me is that I do my best to provide the fullest sound possible. That means, I have incorporated a kick bass pedal to get that essential percussion beat. I also use a looper which can record snippets of a song, like a chord progression that I can have running on a whim while playing on top of that, whether it be a solo or additional layers. Occasionally, I will break out a harmonica or some other instruments in addition. I am more than happy to play as a part Duo or Trio for special events. I have talented musician friends that are extremely talented. It really can for more fullness, sound and energy. Trade off will be a longer period of time for prep and a larger budget. DJ services: I would be happy to play recorded tunes for your event with my sound system. This could be easier than hiring a DJ separately. Here’s to YOU!!! Thank you so much for reading. Lets get in touch! Love, Ryan

Ryan is such a sweetheart! He made our wedding picnic complete by playing a variety of music suitable for young and old crowds. At night, he became a DJ and played a lot of popular dance music. With his various musical skills, we would highly recommend him for any type of event.

Between Ryan's great communication, willingness to learn a new song for our first dance and wonderful personality, I would highly recommend him to family, friends and strangers. You hire him to play music, but you get so much more. We hired him to play for our wedding ceremony music and cocktail hour. We started off as strangers but now we call him a friend!

I hired ryan to play at my husband's surprise 40th. Prior to the event we spoke and I explained how much my husband liked Pearl Jam. Ryan not only learned our favorite songs, but excelled at them! Our guests even asked him to play a few two times! Ryan was very talented, professional and nice. We will definitely work together again.

Ryan played at our wedding recently for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and we're so impressed by his talent, ability, and extensive repertoire - lovely music, lovely personality, and truly worth every penny. He is so easy to work with, from planning the song list to last-minute changes. He has a calm, cool, zen-like nature that makes him immediately likeable. We are so glad that we chose him to perform at our wedding, and would highly recommend him for any other occasion!

We had Ryan play at our annual wine party which worked out very well. He had an extensive song list and stuck to our selections that we had given him ahead of time. That being said, he did a great job feeling out the crowd and catering to the vibe. He played outside and his sound equipment was top notch. He created a fun yet relaxing atmosphere and the crowd loved him. We would definitely use him in the future.

Ryan was superb. From the first conversation until the end to the gig, Ryan was so easy to work with and very accommodating - he learned a song in under a day that we really wanted to be played. Also, at the end of the evening, after last call and the last song, an alumna asked to sing one more song with him and he had no problem doing so. His voice is phenomenal and his interactions with the audience were spot-on. I have already recommended him to attendees and plan to book him at our next event. Great job, strongly recommend to everyone. My event had over 110 attendees, indoor venue.

Ryan performed at my wife's surprise 50th birthday party. After speaking with Ryan we decided that we would like a duo for my wife's party. Ryan recommended a musician friend of his named Jordan. The 2 of these guys together sounded Awesome! Everyone at the party commented about how great they sounded and loved their song selection. I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone that was looking to make their event special. Way more entertaining than having a party with a DJ. No Comparison. Party was about 125 guests.
