The Ryan Montbleau Band

Jan 13, 2010 |  0 comments

Ryan Montbleau Band’s music is difficult to pigeon-hole or neatly categorize. It is original yet familiar—a fresh sound full of fi mly-rooted ingredients, including Americana, folk, blues, ragtime and ’70’s R&B and soul. Whereas the band’s intriguing instrumentation and arrangements (not to mention top notch chops) help to create this unique sound, all is firmly anchored by Montbleau’s water-tight lyrics and unmistakable voice. “Patience on Friday is evidence that RMB has evolved as a band and will continue to do so as their years roll on. Their chemistry is unmistakable and their “real people” attitude stands synonymous with their eclectic mix of soul, jazz and downright heartfelt lyrics.”  — The Equinox Tickets are $12 in advance, $15 at the door.  College students get in for $8! http://www.ryanmontbleauband.com
