WHAT’S NEWS

Greetings to our all of our friends and fans! So far, it’s been a very satisfying and productive 2010. We are in the process of currently recording our next record, entitled “Under The Influence”, the follow up to our critically acclaimed “Totality” which was released in 2008. Once again we call on our musical brothers, monster drummer and percussionist Johnny Mrozek and bassist extraordinaire William Kopecky to complete our creative vision. In addition, we also tap into the extreme talent of drummer Dan Van Schindel, who was the drummer in the original Ryan Brothers band in the late ‘70s.

Without their unique talents, our music would just not be the same. With our great mutual respect and musical brotherhood, we have once again managed to raise the bar and push the creative envelope to an entirely new level previously never achieved. In keeping with past tradition, we break new musical ground, venturing into previously unexplored genres while maintaining the classic Flyin’ Ryan Brother’s delivery, sound and vibe.

Back in mid 2009, we appeared on “Guitar Masters Vol. 2”, compiled by GRAMMY winning producer Brian Tarquin. On the strength of our song “Gaza” (which also appeared on or 2005 release “Blue Marble”), Brian commissioned us to write and perform an extended solo section on one of his songs, entitled “Chopper Mania”. That song appears on the just-released “Guitar Masters Vol. 3 & 4” (featuring guitar greats Jeff Beck, Steve Vai, Leslie West, Gary Hoey, Chris Poland and Allan Holdsworth, among many others), which is dedicated to the memory of the legendary Les Paul. A verbal quote dedicating our work to Les even appears in the liner notes! John Heidt of Vintage Guitar magazine has this to say:

“A listen to the couple dozen cuts will lead you to the conclusion that these guitarists have one very important trait with Mr. Paul. And that would be they are an adventurous lot. While Les was never afraid to try new things and step outside the norm, these guitarists, led by Tarquin, show the same penchant to take roads that they might not be expected to.”

That spirit is ultimately what makes this a very fitting musical tribute to the late, great Les Paul. We are elated and very humbled to be hand-picked by Brian to appear on not one, but two of his compilation releases showcasing “the best of the best.” We’re proud to have made the cut. Thank you, Brian, for sharing our work with the world!

We will soon be opening our online store theaxeshack.com in an attempt to thin out our considerable collection of vintage, rare and custom “one of a kind” guitars, amps, effects and accessories. We GUARANTEE that ALL of our gear has been tweaked, geeked, gig-ready and in absolutely pristine condition. Really, now…what else would you expect from The Flyin’ Ryan Brothers…affordable excellence now available at a fair price. What more could you ask for? When it is up and running we’ll let you know.

We thank you for visiting. The Flyin’ Ryan Brothers thank you! Keep on rockin’!
