Ryan Kowal has been a fixture in the creative music scene in New England for many years. As a talented percussionist (drumset, vibraphone, auxiliary percussion), Ryan has been frequently called upon to add his musical voice to many projects.

Ryan plays drumset with the Bucky O’Hare Trio, a psychedelic blues group. He is also the house drummer for the monthly Parlour Jazz Jam, where he has helped mentor many musically younger drummers in the area. He performs and records his own compositions, including a large ensemble fluctuating between 7 to 10 musicians. Ryan has crafted an immense portfolio of creative endeavors. Through this, he has earned a reputation as a professional and trusted collaborator.

Ryan has also spent time experimenting and honing his recording skills and has been an on call musician for other’s singles and albums (as well as his own). Ryan is always willing and able to help other’s bring their projects to life, whether remote, in person, recordings, live shows, etc. See the “works” page for videos of home recorded sessions.

Ryan is always working on new material and practicing to better his musical ability in all capacities.
