When you're born into a musical family, you can expect to learn how to play one, two or twelve instruments. Ryan Shields was taught by his father at the age of 10 to bang the drums. His mother taught him how to pick the guitar at 13. And his Puerto Rican guitar playing/singing/songwriting grandfather influenced him the rest of the way. He and brother Danny toured the Eastern part of the country as the band Never the Less. At 19 he became the frontman of Swirl. And now he's going it alone. Enjoy.
