New song, blog that was supposed to be on Myspace.

This is a repost from Myspace.

Oh my god this website is shit. It just deleted this huge blog I just wrote. I feel like I've rewritten the same inner dialouge three times now. WTF Myspace?!?

Ok, here is what I wanted to say, I'm playing every Saturday at Zinc with the band "Red Giant" from 8-11. It is straight ahead jazz, something this area needs more of. Come out and support some jazz, man. Maybe we can hang out afterwords and smoke cloves while giving each other updates on who's who in the beret fashion world.

Over at my website you can find material posted on a regular basis, I'm looking for some of you to chime in on it and let me know how you think the album is progressing. I've got some fantastic musicians that will be coming in to record on it, Jason Dorcy will be providing some violin, and Jason Hannah will be playing some trumpet. I'm still trying to figure out and underlying theme, placement, and the overall feel of the album. The last one was very erratic. Maybe I'll do an all acoustic guitar album, and a pop/song album.

Peace, Ryan

This is a new song I'm working on titled "Settle down son" Still in the early mixing phase, drums are a place holder, vocals are a scratch track and harmonys need to be added. Oh and a trumpet solo during the instrumental break.

Settle down son

First post, shows, ect.

Ok so this is my first post so bear with me. First off I'd like you to notice the player on the sidebar. I will be updating it regularly with new songs. Basically I'd like to make this page a musical diary. So if you are checking it out, be prepared to hear very raw, strange, probably terrible snippets of audio. Here are some of my show dates for Jan. It's a light load due to me getting surgery next week.

Jan 11th @ Granby North
Jan 26th @ Zinc Brassiere
Jan 31st @ Granby North

Every Sunday at HK on the Bay I host an open mic which starts at 9.

Take care,

Ryan
