Self taught at age 15, Ron soon formed the first band to be signed to the newly formed SIRE records, such early success was very encouraging to a starry eyed teenager who moved to NY's Greenwich Village to pursue his music career.

Dividing his time between Woodstock NY, Manhattan and Northern California, Ron added to his musical experiences by rubbing elbows and jamming with such greats as David Bromberg, Jorma Kaukonen, Doc Watson, Buzz Feiten, Tim Hardin, and Taj Mahal. (during a particularly exciting six month stretch,
Ron played back up for Chuck Berry, jammed with Santana and had a one-on-one with Jimi Hendrix. ..one of his heroes at the time)

Moving on to recording, he became a sought-after session guitarist on New York's highly competitive recording circuit. Ron's quest for a more acoustic sound led him to the Green Mountains of Vermont where he performed with folk-rock groups such as the popular Willow. It was during this period that he began honing his distinctive singing and song writing skills.

In his career so far, he has shared the stage with such greats as Richie Havens, Lucinda Williams, Jesse Colin Young, John Hammond Jr., Lucy Kaplansky, Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee, and Christine Lavin. (He was also one of the artists on Christine Lavin's very popular compilation CD and tour, "THE STEALTH PROJECT, musicundertheradar")

He's performed in countless venues and festivals from Tampa to Tokyo; from the Telluride Bluegrass Festival (where he was a finalist in the troubadour competition) to NYC's Bottom Line to London's Albert Hall.

Ron's five CDs, have been well received. His most current "SOULMATES & SENTENCES" will be joined by his soon to be released 6th CD, "LATE BLOOMER". His discography also includes "ANOTHER KITE TO FLY", "THERE BUT FOR THE GRACE OF LOVE", "VANISHING BREED" and "ELDERSONGS".
