" Ryan has been a musician for most of his 28 years. His first taste of music came from playing drums in his father’s church. By the time he was a teen, he was an accomplished guitarist as well. Inevitably, he fell into the Rock and Roll scene where he fronted several local bands. It wasn’t until summer of 2004 that he truly recognized his natural ability to write music. In 2006 Ryan released his first radio single "Freedoms Price" and held the 1 most requested song for 3 weeks on www.supercountryhits.com. It wasn’t long after the release of "Freedoms Price" that Ryan had his first album "Convicted" ready for all those wanting more!So whats next for Ryan Mcleod? With "Convicted" under his belt, Ryan is back in the studio again working on his second album titled "That Ol’ Shack". Start looking for singles from this cd soon!Greg Elledge (Bass Guitar, Vocals) Okay, here’s the guy responsible for the assembly of talent that you hear in Concrete Evidence’s music. Not only is Greg an established bassist and vocalist, he brings to the table the undeniable ability to know a good thing when he hears it. His diverse taste in music alone has had an extreme influence on all of the members of Concrete Evidence. In a band that is otherwise based strictly on guitars, Greg turns on the creativity switch by introducing his classic influences to the other generations of the band. Ryan and guitarist Dave Ball admit they would never have listened to artists like Jackson Browne, Warren Zevon, David Lindley and Ry Cooder had it not been for Greg’s enthusiasm about their music. So, if you hear something special in Concrete Evidence, chances are Greg Elledge heard it first!Dave Ball (Lead Guitar, Vocals) Fifteen years ago, if you asked Dave Ball how to evolve as a guitarist he’d probably tell you to practice your scales and study gobs of music theory. Well, that may have served him well in the early nineties playing in guitar-driven, progressive, hard rock bands. While he did make a local name for himself by blistering leads to the likes of Steve Vai, Queensryche and Eric Johnson, his true talent never scratched the surface. Some call it elegance or tastefulness, while others may say chic! Regardless, since Dave joined Concrete Evidence in 2005 he’s learned it’s not how many notes will fit in a song, but rather how gracefully he can fill the gap. Sure… the scales came in handy, but the real evolution of this guitarist came from meeting the members of Concrete Evidence.Rockin’ Ron Holt (Drums, Vocals) Ron’s nickname is well-deserved result of years of backing just about every kind of band known to music lovers. Because of his ability to adapt to different styles of music without… err… missing a beat, he was extremely sought-after by dozens of both local and national bands. Beach, Country, Jazz, Rock, you name it; Rockin’ Ron has banged the skins to it. Apparently, he saw promise in the McLeod-Elledge team. It’s a good thing too, because all those years of influences have found the perfect resting place in Concrete Evidence. Ron effortlessly composes beats and fills for the new original songs like he’s been tappin’ his foot to them his whole life. When asked to name some of his main influences, Rockin’ Ron usually replies, “Whateverâ€!Myspace Layouts - General/Other Myspace Layouts
