Country music singer, songwriter, and guitarist who spent ten years in Nashville touring with various artists and writing with award winning songwriters. I play a full band or solo acoustic set of well known songs and want to make your event special!
Ryan played for my wedding and did an amazing job. The music was at the perfect level and he has a wide array of styles he can play. I highly recommend Ryan to play at any type of formal or informal function. He was highly respectful of my venue and the set up and tear down of the equipment was fast. Five stars for sure!
Ryan is a talented musician and we were happy to have him playing live music for us during our grand opening weekend. We would definitely work with him again.
Response from Ryan Oetken:
Thank you again for having me Elizabeth! It was a pleasure getting to be a part of the grand opening, and I hope to come back for future events.
I was fortunate enough to see his career take off and follow him around the Portland area for years before he moved to Nashville. I recently hired him to play a family event and he did not disappoint! It was him and an acoustic guitar and he sang hit after hit providing a great sense of professionalism and entertainment. I look forward to seeing his continued success and would highly recommend for anyone who loves country or classic rock.
Response from Ryan Oetken:
Thank you for having me Barbara! I really appreciate the kind words and hope to play another one of your events in the future.

My primary goal is to deliver a great show to make sure your event is a success that will be talked about by all in attendance. I will show up with a set of songs that will be tailored for your event, but will be open to taking requests.
I take every show seriously and will respond to all emails and phone calls promptly. I will arrive on-time and will play the entire set time without cutting corners or delivering any unpleasant surprises.
