For those who like their pigeonholes neat and tidy, Jimmy Ryan ain’t your man. He plays mandolin with the old-timey pluck of a bluegrass breakdown, but he does it with the ferocity of a rock guitarist. A left-handed rebel, Ryan began his career in a bluegrass combo, Pine Island, and the punk band Decentz. A pioneer of the ‘80s alt-country scene, Ryan founded and fronts the bluegrass-tinged rock band, The Blood Oranges, and continues to be one of the most dynamic singer-songwriters on the rich Boston Americana scene today.
