Ryan played for my husbands 60th birthday party - he set up right in my living room and knocked everyone's socks off with his awesome doo- wop songs. Everyone was dancing up a storm. He is the BEST!!
Response from Ryan Parkinson's Oldies & Doo-wop Show:
Thank you dear that was one of the best private parties I've ever done thank you
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!
Response from Ryan Parkinson's Oldies & Doo-wop Show:
Thank you very much Lynn love you guys you're the best
I have been following Ryan for a number of years, his oldies and doo-wop show is always a hit. He sings a wide variety of songs from all of the great performers! I would highly recommend his show!
Response from Ryan Parkinson's Oldies & Doo-wop Show:
