Not Just 90s Unplugged

Ryan Colton has been writing and performing music since his teens in both solo and ensemble capacities. He’s most well known in Richmond as being the former lead guitarist for 80s/90s cover band, The Here and Now and current co-lead singer/guitarist for rock variety cover band, The Upside. Ryan has had the pleasure of performing at most major venues in the tri-cities area and prides himself on his unique song selection and professionalism. 

From Goth to Grunge, New Wave to Brit-Pop, and everything in-between, Ryan’s solo acoustic song list features a variety of alt-rock standards and fan favorites from the 80’s to the 00’s. During his performances, you will see Ryan putting his own spin on songs from the likes of Counting Crows, Nirvana, and The Cure.

Ryan’s solo performances are turn-key, including all necessary sound and lights to entertain crowds up to 300 people. Ryan possesses the skill to curate a set that caters to the preferences of any audience. For the full rundown on how this project came to be, check out the blog post about it here.
