We have been lucky enough to sing on 6 albums this year just in Portland alone, lending our back up talents.
We also have our own projects.
We love to sing and have been doing it for so long it comes as second nature.
With the session skills to come into an environment with out knowledge of the music and write and collaborate we are precise and fun at the same time.
We pride our selves on accuracy, professionalism.

http://ryanhammer.chipin.com/the-release-of-my-upcoming-double-album-ryanhammer

Hey, my album is just about finished, but I just need a LITTLE help from everyone to be able to release this thing. The great people @ ChipIn have allowed me to make my own fundraiser to help me release my double album "Ryan/Hammer". All I ask is that you donate $1 to my ChipIn fund by pasting the link above and going through the easy (and secure) process. No catch, no reoccurring fees or anything, just you supporting my dream to release an album physically with a full color album cover and a UPC code :) My Mom was really upset when she found out my first album was only going to be sold digitally so if you don't do it for me, give $1 so my Mom can hold my album in her hands and be proud of her son.

Thanks so much, it really means a lot to me. If you think your friends might want to give, please pass on the link, my goal is to raise $3000 by my birthday, August 26 because it would be the best gift ever to achieve that :)

-Ry-

P.S. Free download of my song Take It Slow below just to show how much I really appreciate your support
