Jay Ryan

Drawing upon both his upbringing in the cornfields of Middle America and his experiences as a juggler in a circus (no foolin'... Jay really was in a circus), Jay Ryan's songs are an ever-entertaining blend of storytelling married with catchy hooks. Host of a highly successful Monday night open mike night at a small club in Denver, Jay has moved the festivities to the D Note in Arvada where "Jay Ryan's Acoustic Big Top" appears on Mondays (complete with Jay in top hat and ringmaster's coat). In addition, Sunday nights sees Jay hosting "Jay Ryan's Guitar Club" at Denver's own British Bulldog Pub, a much more intimate venue and a smaller-scale, more personal open mike. On top of all that, every month, Jay hosts a Songwriter Showcase at the D Note, featuring 4 local Singer/Songwriters performing their own material as well as collaborating on each others' songs. Jay's music has received airplay on local radio as well as internet radio, and he was featured live on KCUV radio's "Local Music Hour".
Recently, he has fallen in with an ill-tempered band of reprobates and parole violees calling themselves Trucks on Triangles, as well as Mike Wolfe and the High Country Band, Loose Affiliation, Drunken Uncle and many other various offshoot projects. The public is urged to avoid all contact with these groups, because the resulting urge to dance and have a good time may be too much to resist.
