This is me....in a nutshell...
Ron is a Singer/Songwriter/aspiring sorta-kinda sound engineer, born and raised in Gettysburg, PA. Over the past two and a half decades he's played hundreds of gigs in countless venues and honed his skills by playing an eclectic variety of songs and styles. His passion however, lies in creating original music and lyrics. The goal is to hone a writing style and musical personality every bit as varied as the range of cover songs he plays.
Been there, done that.
