Rymo Tunes - The Personal Site of Musician Ryan Moran

Hello friends,
Thanks for checking out my website. It's now 2008! Time does fly when you are having fun…and are busy traveling, touring and recording. This year is already off to a great start and I hope will continue to get better and better. There are lots of things to come...

Slightly is on tour with Expendables and Outlaw Nation for the Stoopid Records Party Tour. This leg will take us from San Francisco to NYC and many points between. We will then do some of our own shows in the northeast and connect with 311 to support them in Canada for a few weeks. We are confirmed to perform at Coachella this year. I'm excited about that, because I've never been. This summer Slightly will release another studio album and headline a tour around the US with our boys Pepper.

I started recording some original music this year and I'd like to thank my two good friends Kent Oberlin and Tom Greisgraber for their ears, production, and engineering help on my forthcoming solo project. It features plenty of drums, percussion, didjeridoo, berimbau, keyboards, bass and guitars. It has a raw, earthy feel and I'm proud of the way it has taken shape. I'm going to try to have it out by this summer. I plan to have a cd with art and text, and will make it available through the digital medium as a downloadable cd too.

Agent 22 has been going strong as well. Tom and I have been swapping recording work on each other's projects between tours. Tom will probably release another album this year under his name or the collective Agent 22.

The book project is still moving forward as well. I have been working on an instructional book for some time now between tours. It contains tons of exercises, photos, philosophies, and many other concepts other books lack. I was inspired to write this book due to the overload of purely technical books that never touch on the philosophical or spiritual side of the drum.
