Ryan Burrage, a native of New Orleans , LA , is an up and coming reed player based out of New Orleans , LA. Equally proficient on clarinets and saxophones, Ryan has earned a reputation of being a satisfying and adventurous player in any type of situation. Ryan started being recognized for his talent in 2001, when he was designated as bandleader of Fritzel's European Jazz Club on Bourbon St. , the oldest and continuous run jazz club in New Orleans . He has been performing there nightly for nearly 4-1/2 years. While he had been performing for nearly ten years in New Orleans as a sideman, this marked his debut as a bandleader with his band, Ryan Burrage and His Rhythmakers .

He can be seen nightly at Fritzel's frequently joined by fellow reedman and Sidney Bechet student, Jacques Gauthe ', which when they perform together, much resembles the early double reedmen recordings of Jimmie Noone & Doc Poston, Sidney Bechet & Albert Nicholas, Sidney Bechet and Mezz Mezzrow , and more recently like the recordings of the Soprano Summit( featuring the late Kenny Davern & Bob Wilbur). While Ryan focuses his repertoire at Fritzel's mainly in the traditional New Orleans jazz idiom, Ryan is also versatile and willing to express himself in other genres. Ryan has played R&B, jump swing, swing, post bop, hard bop, cool jazz, gospel, and even the newer "smooth jazz."

Ryan Burrage can perform on an arsenal of woodwind instruments. To date, he has performed on Sopranino , Soprano( straight and curved), Alto, C-Melody, Tenor, and Baritone Saxophones; Albert and Boehm system Eb and Bb Clarinets and Bass Clarinet.

Ryan is endorsed by JodyJazz Mouthpieces .

Ryan's equipment is as follows:

    Clarinet: JodyJazz Custom Made Ruby Red #0.075" Soprano Sax: Jody Jazz Ruby Red #9 Alto Sax: Jody Jazz Ruby Red #9 Tenor Sax: Jody Jazz Ruby Red #12

Ryan Burrage constantly seeks to apply a new, fresh approach to interpreting older styles of jazz, as well as taking older styles into newer territory. Ryan is also an accomplished songwriter and likes to incorporate as many original tunes into his repertoire when appropriate. Music Influences Sidney Bechet , Bob Wilbur, Kenny Davern , Jimmie Noone , Edmond Hall, Johny Dodds , Barney Bigard , Bud Freeman, Guy Lafitte, Coleman Hawkins, Frankie Trumbauer , and much more - too many to list here.
