Ryland is available as a session musician for recording sessions, live performances, and touring engagements. With years of experience working across the Canadian roots, folk, and Americana scenes, he brings musical sensitivity and versatility to every project.
Whether you need a distinctive clawhammer banjo part, tasteful electric guitar work, or a full complement of stringed instruments to fill out your arrangement, Ryland can adapt to serve the song — in the studio or on the stage.
Old-time and contemporary clawhammer style — a signature sound across Ryland's body of work.
From fingerpicking to full-band electric parts, adaptable to any genre or arrangement.
Chop rhythm, melodic leads, and textural parts on both mandolin and the warmer-toned mandola.
Blues harp and cross-harp playing for roots, folk, and country sessions.
Available for in-studio and remote sessions.
