I am an instrumental guitarist with over 15 years of professional experience. I take your favorite covers and reimagine them on electric and acoustic guitar. With live looping, I build songs from scratch in the moment, layering chords, bass and leads to create a full band sound. I can tailor the energy to be lively and upbeat or take a more laid back approach for peaceful background ambiance. I provide a list of 200+ crowd pleasing songs you can choose from. I also learn select songs by requests for clients. I perform 100 gigs a year at weddings, wineries, restaurants and other private events. Looking forward to talking to you about how I can enhance your next event with live music!

August 14, 2024I have booked Ryan multiple times as a solo artist, with a band, and with other artists. He is punctual, professional, and extremely talented. He’s extremely adaptable and gracious as well. If you’re on the fence about booking him, don’t be!

I am an instrumental guitar with over 15 years of experience. I am not a classical guitarist, rather I reimagine popular covers in an instrumental setting, layering chords and mirroring vocal melodies exclusively on electric guitars. I incorporate live looping into my performances which essentially allows me to layer different guitar and bass parts over each other to create a sound that mimics a full band. The result is wonderful live ambiance for your event that can be as an energetic or as laid-back as you would desire. I am proficient in a wide variety of genres from jazz and blues to pop, classic rock, country and more.
I bring all of my own gear, arrive early and operate with professionalism.
