Evan Marien & Randy Runyon Duo

For one night only Evan Marien and Randy Runyon bring a special duo performance to Ryles World Wednesdays at ryles concert series.

Guitarist Randy Runyon, will accompany bassist Evan Marien on his original music, which is influenced by 20th century French and Russian music.

Evan was recently voted one of 2009's Most Exciting New Players by the readers of Bass Player Magazine, and was recently profiled in the January 2010 issue of Bass Guitar Magazine.

Randy Runyon has performed with drummer Terri Lyne Carrington at the Blue Note and the Iridium Jazz Club in New York City, given clinics with trumpeter Tiger Okoshi, performed with saxophonist Bob Mintzer and trumpeter Randy Brecker.

Randy recently released his first CD "Arrival" to widespread acclaim. Both Evan and Randy have a unique musical chemistry together and are pleased to share this rare moment at Ryles.

Evan Marien

"...highly original harmonic approach to soloing....an emerging bass talent...one who backs up his stunning bass work with music of depth and subtlety" - Mike Flynn, Bass Guitar Magazine

"One of my current favorite bass players to hit the scene... On Evan's new CD, he displays very mature compositions and playing. His tone(s) is amazing and Evan has a great sense of phrasing and time" - Ray Riendeau, Notreble.com

"I truly think that every electric bassist (at the very least) should check this out. The playing is straight killing, Evans tone is wonderful, the band is smoking but, most importantly, it's interesting to listen to and very musical" - Damien Erskine, Bass Musician Magazine

Randy Runyon

"...Runyon approaches the songs like Kenny Burrell with a Pat Metheny fixation, his dark and stinging notes dancing over the bar lines with a studied logic. Runyon's playing is calm and assured, as if he has nothing to prove. And he focuses on the essence of each melody rather than how fast he can play or the usual guitar pyrotechnics."

"...Runyon plays like an old soul on his self-titled debut as a leader. His song selections are far beyond the usual standards fare including classic and challenging material..."

"A teacher has not done his job well if the student does not surpass him... "This CD is Randy's compliment to me and I thank him very much! - Carl Filipiak - March 2007

This CD should serve as an excellent introduction to Randy Runyon. - Ken Dryden - All Music Guide
