The band is focused after the lead guitarist and creator, Ryan Formato

The Ryan Formato Band plays live and is currently and steadily building a fanbase, especially through the internet.

Ryan Formato's greatest place he played at was at the Eric Clapton's Crossroad's festival for the Guitarmageddon 2004 competition. Out of 3500 competitors, he ranked in the top 6 and played to an audience of 15,000 people.

The internet has changed the internet greatly because people now have access to great artists can do not have to be forced to listen to certain types of music. People can also explore other genres of music that they usually don't listen to.

Ryan Formato would still sign with a major label because they have the money and promotion to make the band be able to play to huge audiences.

Ryan Formato self-released his CD, "Out of This World," which got rave reviews all over the internet. He then needed a band to back him up to play out live and the band formed around May of 2004. They will be playing locally around the Long Island area to gain support and promote instrumental rock around the Island. He then released his most recent album, Rise From the Dead in 2010.
