Only 23 now, there's a dark streak to his music and a sensation of a life experience under his belt. On this belt hangs a guitar, the weapon that Boss first picked up when he was 14 and hasn't put down since.<br />Influenced by artists as diverse as Stevie Ray Vaughan and Michael Jackson, Ryan sees feeling as the common denominator in all the music he enjoys. He likes songs that invoke a response out of him emotionally, and that's why his audience finds his tunes and words so easy to relate to.<br /><br />These days Ryan Boss plays a lot of acoustic shows, and he says an unamplified guitar serves his purposes well. In Ryan's own words, it's a more personal, pure form of the instrument, and for those who watch Boss on-stage there's a deeper connection with a solo artist. Not that it always was this way: when he was 17-18, Ryan fronted a few bands that weren't serious. After that, he just wanted to play guitar for awhile, as he tried to find a band but that never really worked so, aged 20, the youngster started doing open mics - because he couldn't just sit around.<br />The unplugged format proved to have been a lot of fun, yet Boss would like to play in a<br />trio and do some electric stuff in the future.<br /><br />There's a song of Ryan Boss' called "Unbound", so loved by the public, which goes,<br /><br />"I tried to say something profound<br />But nothing would come out<br />My brain can't seem to fit the words through my trembling mouth<br />I must have been so choked up<br />I think I could drowned<br />I better say something now<br />Before I come unwound".<br /><br />And that's exactly what he does. He felt unbound a bunch of times, especially when Ryan, as he says, gets in his head to come up with reasons someone might judge him harshly and shuts down a bit.<br />Not before the audience, though: there's an enigma to this musician, and that's another thing that draws people to Boss.<br /><br />http://RYANBOSSMUSIC.COM<br /><br />CREDITS/SPONSORS<br />The Record Shop, The Hard Rock Cafe, Audio Technica, Best Buy, Eagle Parking<br /><br />Tune in again to BalconyTV //
