Musician. Performer. WRITER. Gentleman pirate. Papa bear. Doer of things when they need to be done. Flier by the seat of various pants.
ABOUT
Ryan is many people and the sounds reflect that.
​
When time began, Ryan was an actor. And he still is at heart. These roots pop out in his music today, heavily seasoned by Shakespeare.
​
An attempt at learning jazz theory was made eons ago. What survived was a love of the saxophone and primal rhythms.
​
In the eon after that, Ryan explored his Irish roots, learning such traditional instruments as the tinwhistle and bodhran.
​
Finally, wanting to make more noise, Ryan picked up a guitar and now he does, um, what he does.
If you asked me to describe my music in just three words, I'd say that's a stupid question and excuse myself from the interview.
