Jack Ryan

As a solo performer and live musician, I believe that it is essential to guide my performances based on the energy level and response of the audience. In order to have a successful show, I will tailor my repertoire to fit the environment of the gig, and the general demographic and energy level of the crowd.

I believe that there is nothing better then separating two songs with a little banter. If my crowd is feeling it, then I am ready to pounce. I will poke a little fun, single people out, and try my hardest to be funny... all in good fun.

My name is Jack Ryan of Stamford, CT and I am a professional music performer. My musical career began when I was 17 years old - my buddies and I started a band, "Dirty Books", and played local shows at our high school, restaurants, and extracurricular events in our hometown of Ridgefield, CT. Years later, I had success playing shows around my college campus in NH; at bars and on-campus events, and eventually graduated and moved back home to CT.

After college, I was hired by Carnival Cruise Lines to perform as a solo singer on guitar and spent five years performing on ships; three hours a night, six nights a week. The time that I have spent performing on cruise ships has been, bar far, the best practice that I have had to prepare me for a career of live performing. In between cruise contracts in 2017 and 2018, I lived in Nashville, TN and played gigs on the main strip five nights a week.

Thanks to these experiences, I can call myself a proficient performer and entertainer and am always excited by the idea of bringing spicy jams to new avenue's.

I'll need a functioning power outlet, and a little bit of space.

If your venue employs its own sound system, I am more than happy to utilize it.
