"Ryan's playing has the passion and exuberance of youth, but its further lifted by a deep dedication to his craft. His technique is awe-inspiring, but its the dawning subtleties and emotional range that hints of the greatest possibilities--"
- Ian Moore
"Look for this young lion in the future because he's looking for his own sound and what I've heard so far; I like it."
- Chris Duarte
