Album Notes

Ron Morris' music is a folk/pop mix of carefully crafted tunes defined by his characteristically unique voice and catchy hooks. Originally from Florida, Ron traveled the world meeting people, gathering stories, and growing up. He moved to NYC in 1997 and began turning his stories into songs and singing them wherever he could find space: bars, clubs, coffee shops, theaters, subway stations, and living rooms . After selling home demos of his songs for 6 years, Ron has released his first studio CD, Speak True, on the Roadworm Music label. With producer/arranger,Jess Pillmore, and owner/engineer, Bill Pillmore, Ron has recorded a CD that captures the intimate nature of his songwriting and the spectrum of his live performance. On any given night Ron may be playing a solo acoustic show, a duet with a violinist, or rocking with his band. Pillmore's keen ear has sculpted a musical landscape that shows the magic of his songwriting and the musical possibilities of this promising new talent. As soft as he is strong, wise as he is naive, Ron Morris offers a fresh point of view and signature sound that is uplifting, honest, and leaves the listener feeling as if they've just been let in on a really good secret.
