Ryan Snow was born and raised in Stanford, California, and began playing trombone in the school band at age 10. He became interested in music over many nights spent listening to John Coltrane records on repeat. Ryan went to school at Oberlin in Ohio, graduating in May 2005 with a BM in Jazz Performance and a BA in Politics. While at Oberlin he became interested in the possibilities of open improvisation, and moved to New York to continue his studies.
Ryan now lives in Brooklyn and is involved in a number of collaborative musical explorations, including Pull, The E.R.A. and Scurvy.

i'm writing trombone parts into many of my stormy laughter songs' reinstrumentalizations... hoping you'll play them... just thought i'd give you a heads up on that. sweetpeas, storm
If I had my golden boy...he would long to look into me, to see me, to find himself new in my eyes, to feel his full energy from our power and passion together. He would make me feel strong, open. He would love with open arms, open heart, open mind. I would wish for no one besides him for my lover, he would be generous and vibrant and need me close to him with his body and mind. He would touch me softly and would know my heart's desires. He would be tall, handsome, smart, wise, funny. He would have dark hair, strong hands and stronger shoulders. I would feel safe in him and he would rest in my love. He would take care of me, as a man does, as a gentleman, as a friend. We would feel comfortable being together, even in our solitary actions and thoughts. He would be proud to have me beside him and would always have kind words and actions to keep me there. Our lives would be parallel and we would move down our paths in the same direction, hands held. We would wake up one day and realize so many days had passed, full of laughter and love making, full of silly banterings and dreams fulfilled. We would look at each other and know that all those days were better because of our relationship which allowed us to grow beyond ourselves. In the end we would realize it was a life like any other life, only with more love than many people could ever hope to know.
hey man hope you're well... i'm back in new york - you playing any shows i could come listen to?? otherwise it'd be fun to play if you're still around. peace!

got any shows this weekend?? if not, want to join in the fun at GBM for a gathering of gluttonous noise-makers? (improv, cows&moons, etc...) or improvise in the snow in central park on sunday (I'm praying for snow.) Hey, YOU're Snow!! You know what? My voice teacher at the Studio Theatre Acting Conservatory (yes, it has come to that....oh dear...) calls me Snow. Early Alzheimers or something. I like it, though. Storm is so "Grrrrrhh!!!!" and Snow is so "Ahhhh!!!...) You know? I don't want to be Grrrrrhh!!!! I want to be Ahhhhh!!!
