RYAN KEEN Ryan Keen started playing guitar at the age of 8, honing his talents with styles ranging from classical, flamenco and folk through to electric, before developing the percussive finger-style he is known for today. After years of experience playing guitar with other performers, vocalists & bands, Ryan launched his solo career in December 2008, quickly building a catalogue of catchy and emotional self-written material.
