Overview

I entertain either solo or with great sounding backing tracks that can get a party started. I sing, play guitar and/or keyboards. Whether you want mellow background music or dance party rock, I can deliver. I interact with crowds to turn your event into a memorable experience. I do more than just play music, I entertain. I have close to 300 songs I can perform and I'm always willing to work with clients on their song choices.
I have been currently performing at wineries, private party's, local drinking establishments and other venue's.
I take care of everything for my clientele. I bring my own gear and I set up in a small space. I make sure you are happy and satisfied with performances.

What a wonderful day!

Ron was so great! As a vride to be I had a lot to do and focus on. Ron made it so easy for me! He was right where he said he was going to be and did such an amazing job! He didn't add any more stress to my list. I am extremely thankful for Ron. He added a magical touch to the wedding that I will always cherish and remember. I would definitely recommend him and his services to anyone looking for a musician! And I will most certainly be using him in the future for any other events I might be having! Thank you Ron! You are the best!!

Thank you so much Kasey! Whenever someone considers hiring my services, I always make it as easy as possible for my client to get what they want. I don't want them to stress out over something that should be fun. Your wedding ceremony was beautiful with such nice people attending. I was honored to be a part of your special day. Best wishes for a very long and happy life!

Thank you Linda. It was a pleasure entertaining the folks at your event. I had wanted to play at Luna Red for a long time. Best of luck with your movie, "Down the Fence".

What to expect

An audience member should expect great danceable songs delivered with impact. I keep people on the dance floor.

A client will get over the top service both before and after your event..

About

I am a professional solo musician who has a wide range of music styles from soft rock to very danceable classic rock. I entertain a crowd, not just play music. I sing, play guitars and/or keyboards and create a party atmosphere. Styles include soft nylon string Spanish style guitar to Jimi Hendrix covers and pretty much everything in between. I am a self taught musician with years of experience performing.

Performing is about more than just playing the music. It is about involving your audience so they have a great time and a fun experience. That could mean a certain song, it could mean some hilarious laughter or even something "risque". Anything goes when I start to play and I make sure that everyone knows that we're all here to have a good time.

Anyone seeking my services can expect excellent communication before and after your event. I handle all equipment issues and can set up in a corner of a room if need be. I make it simple and easy to hire my services.

Additional booking notes

I handle everything for my clients. All they have to do is tell me what they want, I handle the rest.

Influences and inspiration

All the great music of the past 50 years including,all of the top entertainers. I've learned from pretty much everyone, even music I didn't particularly like.

My biggest influence has to be the Beatles. Those boys really inspired me to become a musician. I remember seeing them on Ed Sullivan's show and feeling the excitement they generated. I thought, "that has to be the coolest job in the world"!

I have had so many influences since then from numerous different genre's.
I grew up in New York/ New Jersey area where you heard music from many cultures besides American music. I always tried to take what I thought were the best components of these forms of music, learn them, and utilize the genre to expand my musical knowledge.

To me, there is only two kinds of music, good and bad. I understand that music is largely a matter of taste and preference, but everyone has a song or an artist that moves them emotionally. I try to achieve that kind of connection with an audience. If you can do that, you've made a real connection with the people you are entertaining.
