Ryan's bi-monthly "Soul Out Loud" show features special guests from the theatre and music worlds and is followed by a "Soul DJ" party afterwards.

Theatre enthusiasts and music fans can appreciate the Monday night Broadway "dark night" tradition of stars performing their own music on the "night off".
