Ryan can really fill up the room and get people dancin' with a great mix of oldies and rock n roll classics. He's got a great style about him and creates a musical backdrop that makes him seem like more than a single singer. I highly recommend Ryan for anyone looking to provide an entertaining, fun, dancing event.

We've been following Ryan for several years. If you want a true trip down memory lane, Ryan's "oldies" performance is not to be missed. His rendition of the oldies as I remember them is amazing. He not only has an awesome voice but is truly a wonderful guy. He performed at our class reunion last year and everyone raved. If you have the opportunity to catch his performance, do it -- you won't be disappointed!
