Jenkins/Edwards
Two exceptional voices, two guitars — the songbooks of Paul Simon, Mark Knopfler and Neil Finn, performed the way they were meant to be heard.
Voice & Guitar
A vastly experienced singer-songwriter with two albums and a number of singles to his name, Ryan has performed across New Zealand, the UK and Ireland — from the Kāpiti Coast to London's Shepherd's Bush Empire and the London Astoria, with recordings made in Dublin, London and New Orleans and a session for RNZ National's In Session. A warm, earthy, soulful voice built for the songs he loves.
