"When you read his credentials - the musicians he has worked with and studied under - you'll know why he's a gator in such demand. And when you've heard him, you'll know what the fuss is all about."

At the age of 19, Enderle began Wayne State University's Jazz Studies program, under the mentorship of Detroit's foremost jazz figures. Shortly after beginning college, Enderle performed as the principal bassist for the United States Marine Corps Band. Following his four year tour in the Marine Corps, Enderle returned to Detroit with his wife, violinist Jessica Enderle, and has since become one of Detroit's most sought after musicians.

This summer, Enderle will record his highly anticipated CD, Detroit Sound, with his group, The Ryan Enderle Trio. The trio is comprised of Nate Winn on drums, Mike Jellick on piano, and Enderle on acoustic bass. The new album will include all original compositions, and is expected to release by the end of August.
