Bio:
Barron Ryan is a pianist, composer, and one of Smithsonian Magazine’s 10 Innovators to Watch in 2021. Barron wrote Honey If It Wasn’t For You, which is a story of a song written by Barron Ryan and Don Feagin. Don wrote the words and Barron wrote the music. But this wasn’t your average collaboration. That’s because Don died in 1981 - six years before Barron was even born.
