Awesome Music great personality!

Ryan played for my wedding and did an amazing job. The music was at the perfect level and he has a wide array of styles he can play. I highly recommend Ryan to play at any type of formal or informal function. He was highly respectful of my venue and the set up and tear down of the equipment was fast. Five stars for sure!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I was fortunate enough to see his career take off and follow him around the Portland area for years before he moved to Nashville. I recently hired him to play a family event and he did not disappoint! It was him and an acoustic guitar and he sang hit after hit providing a great sense of professionalism and entertainment. I look forward to seeing his continued success and would highly recommend for anyone who loves country or classic rock.
