Alexander M Ryan + Musician in Downingtown, PA

ABOUT

I've been a musician for 40 years. My primary instrument is lead guitar but I also sing, play bass and drums. My main project is lead guitarist/background vocals for "Remedy" (a Black Crowes tribute). My other project is Overlord. Ex members of Musician Impossible, Re-Shred and myself joined forces to pay homage to the music we grew up with and love so much. We're a classic metal band covering all the great British and American metal of the 80's.
