Joe Ryan is an excellent guitarist and vocalist with a genuine passion and respect for all kinds of music. He's been around the music scenes in the United Kingdom and the United States for over thirty years. Joe has considerable experience as a session player and a road musician. He has worked with musicians from Dr. Feel Good, The Beach Boys, Mike and the Mechanics and Squeeze to name a few. Joe plays many styles from Blues , R&B, Country, Rock and Jazz and his influences are many and varied from Frank Gambale, Larry Carlton, Eric Clapton, Charlie Parker, Joe Pass, Tower of Power, Robert Johnson, Albert Lee, Rory Gallagher, Hank Marvin.
In the late 1970's, Joe co-wrote the "Glam Rock" hit "Good Time Fanny" with his band Angel, giving him a chance to visit the U.S. and study Jazz guitar. England's loss is our gain. Joe is a perfectionist and is tireless in his efforts to "get the music right".
Joe uses guitars by Tom Anderson at Tom Anderson Guitarworks... great guitars and great service!
