About Me

Although many people’s dreams change as they grow older, Ryan Tremblay has always been determined to make it in the music business throughout his whole life. As a youngster, Ryan was constantly surrounded by quality music. Whether he was listening to his father (Bob Tremblay) sing and play guitar, or watching a live concert at the Warwick Musical Theater, Ryan was always learning through his early musical experiences. As time passed by, these experiences became invaluable to Ryan’s growth as a young musician. "Growing up and watching the pros perform was indeed the biggest inspiration for me. Essentially, all of the live shows that I witnessed helped mold me into the player that I am today."
Today, Ryan is regarded as a dynamic and versatile musician who brings a positive energy to each musical project that he is involved in. Some of the musicians/bands that Ryan has had the pleasure of performing with include Greg Abate, Shawnn Monteiro, Joe Parillo, John Pagano, The Ultrasonic Rock Orchestra, The Hi-Hat Jazz Trio, Brass Attack, and GQ & the Lady. Currently, Ryan is twenty years old and he continues to work the New England music scene as a freelance drummer/percussionist while attending Rhode Island College where he majors in Music. "I cannot predict the future. God has a plan for me and I am confident in that plan. My goal is simply to enjoy the musical journey."

Sounds Like: "I've had the privilege to play with Ryan on many occasions over the past six years, performing lots of styles-Motown, funk, blues, rock, swing and country. His versatility and feel for the music are more than remarkable; he is a musician who is truly 'in service to the song' and he intuitively responds through his kit to give the music the perfect foundation. In my opinion, this 'feel' is something a musician either has or doesn't have and Ryan definitely has it. And when you combine this feel with his skill it has an amazing effect on the music.
When I play with Ryan I play beyond my ability and the music takes on a life of its own. Ryan is the personification of groove."

(Guitarist)

"Not only is Ryan Tremblay a true professional and a gentleman, but he can play those drums! It's always a pleasure to witness his enthusiasm for music and to hear him play the instrument so well. If you are looking for a 'hired gun' to help make your band sound better, Ryan is your guy!"
-Tom Petteruti
(Leader of Brass Attack)
"Ryan puts all of his heart into whatever music he plays. Come and see this up and coming soulful dynamic musician!"
