Describing Ryan’s live show to new people is not the easiest thing in the world. The art of live looping is growing as the technology becomes more accessible, but the ability to use this tool artistically and fluidly is difficult to master, and therefore is still rarely seen. Ryan uses acoustic guitar, voice, bass, harmonica and an electronic hand percussion instrument to “build†his songs from the ground up in front of a live audience on a nightly basis. What happens is RPI will play 4 or 8 bars of a song with an instrument, he will push a button with his foot to record and replay that instrument and that “loop†will keep going, he then will layer another instrument on top of it and so on and so forth. Everything is created live in front of the audience. There are never any pre-recorded loops or samples used, ever. Every song is a little different every night. Some songs remain acoustic the entire way through, some songs will build during every verse, and some songs will build layers at the beginning, some at the end, it is a musical smorgasbord, every song is different every night.
Franky & Louies Beach Front Bar & Grill opened Memorial weekend of 2003 and has been blessed with a tremendous business. We have earned the reputation for having great pizza, awesome sandwiches, friendly staff, and an atmosphere matched by no other. Also, we have an arcade for kids of all ages! 80 boat slips available for restaurant client parking. Stop by and see why Franky & Louie's has been voted the #1 Restaurant on the water and the #1 Bar & Grill at the Lake for several years in a row. Live bands Wed - Mon night.
