Ryan Totten – A Real Class Act

By: Kathy Forste, Music Director

KC Cafe Radio Performing Artist and singer/singwriter Ryan Totten began his love affair for the guitar as a teenager, when his dad taught him his first chords.  He went on to learn classical guitar at Southwest Missouri State University in Springfield.  Today, he continues to make his home in Republic, MO, near the Queen City of the Ozarks, Springfield.

Totten is a multi-talented musician, who recently released his first album, “A Real Class Act.”  He not only produced the album, but played all of the instruments that appear on its tracks. 

I recently had the opportunity to talk with Ryan.  We discussed several things we have in common. Among them, living in Springfield and our love for a variety of music.  Ryan also shared his songwriting and guitar playing style with me, and how he came up with the title for his first album project, “A Real Class Act”.
