Ryan Denzer-King

guitars
Ryan first encountered music through piano lessons in kindergarten. After that, he took classical piano for ten years before devoting himself solely to guitar, which he began playing in middle school. In college he began once again experimenting with piano and keyboard, and eventually took on the position of keyboardist once Matteo left the band. He and his wife live in Missoula, MT, where Ryan is working on his master's degree in linguistics at the University of Montana, as well as teaching English as a Second Language.
