Age: 18

Instrument(s): Piano, badly, but he doesn’t play on stage. He’s the band’s co-manager and songwriter.

Description: Ryan could be fairly characterized as a dreamer, a gentle soul, or a bit of an odd duck. He’s a largely introverted person, always grappling with big ideas but struggling to express them, and though he’ll usually try to strike up a conversation with anyone he spends time with, he’s absolutely abysmal at ‘small’ talk. He absolutely abhors conflict, and will concede, surrender, or back off of any topic he thinks has a chance of becoming an argument. His main trait that won him a spot as the band co-manager is the fact that he is unconditionally helpful; no matter what anyone needs from him, he will do it, half because of a sense of generosity and half because he’s just truly terrible at saying no. His sense of humor is best described as surreal, and around people he’s become comfortable with he’ll happily share all his unfiltered thoughts and feelings. Unfiltered really is the best word for him – he’s a person of great emotional highs and lows, motivated by his passions, guided by questions he wishes he had an answer to. For him, the band is more than just something to spend his free time on; it’s a chance for all these disparate young people to find a direction, find a future, and for him to have a mouthpiece through which to share his ideas with the world.

Favourite Genre(s)/Band(s): Folk rock, Alternative, indie.

Brief Backstory:  Ryan is the product of a broken home – his mother ran out on them when his little sister was a baby, and his father, though never abusive, handled this loss as well as their lower-class conditions with a mixture of neglect and alcoholism, resulting in his becoming the de-facto parental figure for his little sister, Cassie. Everyone in town knows this, and almost nobody knows how to talk to him about it.

Miscellaneous Info: 
Has a tight five minutes of stand-up comedy. It’s not very good.
Loves the Princess Bride. Quotes it roughly two times a conversation.
Has a driver’s license, but bikes literally everywhere.
