"Listening to these songs, one is immediately captured by the warmth, heart, and feeling pouring forth from this young man's guitar and voice.With influences running from Paul McCartney and The Beatles, to Jason Mraz and Ben Folds, Brendan Ryan, a Braintree native songwriter, uses an eclectic mix of originals and covers to lure listeners in and keep them waiting for more. An adept musician, Brendan is also a proficient pianist as well as guitar, and features these other talents regularly with the music of this project. As a fellow musician, and writer, who has had the great fortune to play with Mr. Ryan numerous times over the past year, I can personally attest to this young artist's brilliance, fluidity, and sheer enthusiasm for any music he involves himself in. Whether with full band or a sole acoustic guitar, Brendan Ryan is one of the hottest acts on the South Shore, and is worth your listen. Listen to and enjoy the heartfelt words and sounds of Brendan Ryan, one of the most promising musical outfits playing today." - Guy J. McGuinn
