Ryan Banfill
Since receiving his first guitar at age 12 (a 1965 Silvertone) Ryan has been writing and playing music for his personal enjoyment for more than 30 years. After years of putting his music on assorted cassettes (and a 8 year layoff to take care of career and kids) Ryan put Pro Tools on an old computer in the back bedroom and began writing, playing and recording music again. It's a life-long hobby for him.
Ryan plays guitar, bass and keyboards and uses a drum machine for the beats.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I play live for my family. But since there's no band, there's no live act.
