Ryan’s masterful piano playing weaves in and out of stories of loss, redemption, and hope. Echoes of American roots music, blues, rock, soul, and even vaudeville are everywhere in his music, but his style is uniquely his own. His prolific career as a musician and producer has taken him from playing amphitheaters to intimate clubs across the country.
Ryan has also stepped in on piano, keys and organ with a number of artists and projects, including Eric Lindell, Dana Fuchs, J.T. Bowen, Roosevelt Collier, Oteil Burbridge, The Lee Boys, Scott Sharrard, “Stormin” Norman Seldin, The Ocean Avenue Stompers, Melody Trucks, Soul Project Nola, Uncle Scotchy & Juke, Des & the Swagmatics, Jet Weston & the Atomic Ranch Hands, Matt O’Ree, Arlan Feiles, The Black Flamingos, The Billy Walton Band, and many others.
Ryan currently resides right outside of New York City and serves as a regular member of the Ocean Avenue Stompers, as well as continuing to collaborate on a multitude of different projects, including leading his own band The Shady Street Show Band.
Ryan released his debut solo EP, “Hustling in Place,” in July of 2024.
