Ryan Devlin Trio at Con Alma

About

Ryan Devlin, a 27-year-old saxophonist and woodwind instructor living in Boston, grew up in a musical household where his father, Scott Devlin, led the Walt Disney World Sax Quartet. Surrounded by music, Ryan's interest was sparked early on, and at age 9, after three years of piano, he asked his dad to teach him the saxophone. Since then, Ryan has been practicing, gigging, and teaching every day. He completed a Jazz Performance master’s degree at The New England Conservatory in 2023 under saxophonist Jerry Bergonzi and now teaches at Newton South High School. Ryan has performed extensively across the United States and Canada, collaborating with many notable musicians and earning accolades like the 2017 Central Florida Jazz Society Scholarship Competition.
