About this Event

The Ryan Watkins Group is a Baltimore-based quartet focused on the styles of jazz, rock, and soulfeaturing Ryan Watkins on guitar and vocals, Tyler Bartram on bass, Aaron Smolin on drums, and Chris Young on saxophone. All four members have spent years performing together in various bands and configurations across a wide range of musical styles in the Baltimore Area and came together to form a group that puts a modern twist on a classic sound.

The Ryan Watkins Group creates the feeling of stepping into another era without simply trying to recreate it. Drawing from the sound of midcentury jazz clubs while staying true to their roots of rock and soul, the quartet puts its own modern touch on American standards, swing, ballads, and familiar melodies.
