Side Step

Ryan Devlin is a 25 year old saxophonist and private woodwind instructor living in Boston, MA. Devlin started his musical journey with his father Scott Devlin who was the leader of the Walt Disney World Sax Quartet. Music was always in the house when Ryan was a child. Scott was always teaching lessons or practicing for his next gig. Ryan was immediately interested and asked his Dad to teach him saxophone around age 9, after playing piano for 3 years. Since then Ryan has been practicing, gigging and teaching everyday!

Side Step is a jazz quartet featuring saxophonists Ryan Devlin and Jordan Lerner, bassist Ian Ashby, and drummer Ryan Barski. Since 2022, the group has forged a unique sound and style, inspired by the interplay of Elvin Jones and Steve Grossman. Their 2024 debut, Blues Clues, was followed by extensive touring and concluded with their second recording, Live at Rudy’s. Their third album, The Trestle, will arrive in the Spring of 2026.
