What is Ryan Malloy? 　　 　　It is an equation involving one man, six strings, two hands, and infinite passion. It adds up to something just outside the conventional, and just beyond the expected. It is the symphonic link between ear, soul, fingertips, and audience. It is conveying an appreciation for the inexpressible. It is always striving for something just outside your reach, inspired not so much by the greats as by greatness itself. It is a reinterpretation of an art form, with maximum variety and minimal excess: an uncluttered stage with one stool, one instrument, one spotlight, and one dedicated musician.
