About Me

The founding members of Ephesus are Russell Dean and Ryan Stanley.

Russell, who is a fluent guitar and mandolin player, as well as Ephesus' lead vocalist, is a Denver native, and began writing and performing in his early high school years.

Ryan, though born in Denver, has since lived and performed in a wide variety of places, including St. Paul, MN, Denver, CO, Portland, OR, Phoenix, AZ, and Hayward, WI, playing both the drums and guitar.

Their debut album, entitled Ghosts with a Smile was completed on Friday, the 13th of April, and the official release date will be announced soon.
