Who is going to the NAMM show?

I am pleased to announce this morning that my friend Paul Hanson will be joining me for making wonderful music at the Legere Reeds Booth (3014) at the NAMM Show. For those of you who may not know Paul, he is the fantastic Bassoonist/Saxophonist that you may have seen with The Flecktones, Wayne Shorter, MMW, Eddie Money, and Tower of Power. Please check him out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OL1_6AMw3Q

Not only will we be premiering music there, but also at one of the UK's greatest jazz venues, the Jazz Bar in Edinburgh, Scotland as well as clinics throughout the UK! Please help if you can- EVERY DOLLAR COUNTS!!! This is an incredible opportunity, not to mention a massive honor for me, and for my band!!! 

Also, who's coming to hang out with me in Las Vegas, NV and in Los Angeles, CA? Check out the tour calendar!

November 2011 Update!

Things are well up here in Boston! The newly reformed Pocket Language is playing its first gig together on December 18th at All Asia in Boston, MA. Very excited to play the tunes from "All By Myself" and even some new material. For information on who is joining us in this venture, please visit the RSPL page on my site! 

As well, still working hard to attempt to get another record completed, in hopes of a late 2012 release. "Story" is a "musical novel" about my life the past few years. It features the All-Star Quintet, an expanded rhythm section, Pocket Language horns and an entire symphony behind it, with two wonderful friends (to be named later:) ) as our fantastic guest artists. Want to support the project? Please email me on the contact page!

Things coming up: Recording sessions, gigs around Boston, and more of the same. Please keep up to date, by checking out the Tour page on my site! Cool dates coming up: Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Frankfurt (Germany)- and many more!!! 

By the way, please leave a comment on this blog about where you would like to see Pocket Language perform next!

June 2011 Update!

New tour dates are posted on the Tour page. Charlotte, Atlanta, Boston, Los Angeles and Ontario, Canada are on the list. There are many more dates coming soon, and will be updated continually- so keep an eye on the page! 

Working on some new records for others at the moment, and enjoying traveling. Please keep an eye on my YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/ryansaranich) for video updates from when I'm on the road! 

May Update!

April was a very exciting month. I did a series of gigs with Ocie Davis, Tropic Culture and even one with my personal heroes, Kirk Whalum. Check out the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3W0Y00LUxA

This month is another exciting one! Along with a great show with Groove 8, I just finish a nice weekend of performing and recording with Northwest School of the Arts Alumni, Stephen Gordon. His new record is sounding amazing so far! Can't wait for you all to hear it. It includes Stephen Gordon, Troy Conn, Jordan Klemons, Shannon Hoover and myself. Definitely a new sound. 

As well, I'll be doing a few more dates with Tropic Culture this month, and prepping for gigs next month. A few dates coming up that you should be aware of:

• May 26 w/ Tropic Culture Monroe, NC
• June 16 w/ Jonah Francese Boston, MA

Also, we've got plenty of copies of my latest record, All By Myself which you can purchase right off of this site. If you like mp3s, please feel free to visit iTunes, AmazonMP3 or whoever you prefer- they probably have them in stock!

Please keep an eye on the calendar! It will be updated weekly with new shows, hopefully which are near you!
