Ryan's been to more concerts than he can remember, but that's not saying much because his memory is shot! He loves music, the outdoors, Highland Square, and just about everything else the Rubber City has to offer!
Tune in and get to know him on weekdays from 10am - 3pm on 97.5 WONE.
The world of Rock and Roll, and the world beyond, has lost a legend - Jeff Beck, the Maestro, the Six-String Warrior, and one of the greatest to ever do it. I could use the space to rattle off the resume - replacing Eric Clapton in the Yardbirds, the Stones…

Kudos to this Ohio State Highway Patrol Trooper out of the Ravenna Post who performed the Heimlich maneuver to dislodge the baggie of pot. Don't try to swallow a bag of drugs prior to getting pulled over in an attempt to keep a trooper from finding them. Luckily, Tpr. Hoskin…

I guess you could say I kinda sorta knew what I was getting into when I met Megan and quickly realized that she was "the one." Then some time down the road a bit she told me that she was pregnant, and through tears of joy and a complete whirlwind…

Billy Gibbons Homage to Morrison, Richards, and More
Written by Ryan Lang
Billy Gibbons is out with a new, somewhat foreboding video for "Desert High" that feels more like an Oliver Stone movie than a music video...

The legendary California Jam! The single-day festival featured performances form…
