professional guitarist able to handle many styles

Hello! My name is Ryan Sheeler and am a professional working guitarist, pianist, and singer-songwriter from Ames IA. I have played guitar for over 30 years and have two degrees in music (B.A. and M.A.) I have five solo CDs, one book published (and another on the way), some film scores and one musical, and other projects in my portfolio.
I strive to provide excellent music for listening and enjoyment in a variety of venues. My main style is country-pop with twist of blues/soul, and inspirational. Main influences are Dan Fogelberg, The Eagles, Billy Joel, Steven Curtis Chapman, Eric Clapton, SRV, Jimmy Webb, JD Souther, Paul Simon, and Bob Carlisle. But I am always expanding my song list, and am always willing to take requests where ever and whenever I can. I have performed for weddings, coffee shops, restaurants, church functions, dinners, and many other similar events.
I look forward to talking with you further about how I can make your event a special one!
I can provide PA equipment - but I will usually charge additional fee for this depending on travel distance
