Description:
Gillie's welcomes musician Ron Fetner to the stage on Saturday, November 2nd.
Stir up some singer/songwriter, blues, a little folk, soulful R&B, add some rock, and you come up with the influences which molded Ron's musical career.
From his early days of sneaking in back of the old blues and early rock clubs, Ron was being influenced by the music which reached down and touched his soul. That's something he never forgot nor left behind. Even while performing with area Washington, DC bands, including Sonny and the Shadows and Cherry Smash, in the 1970's, Ron always had a feeling there was a deeper meaning for his career.
After several years of paying his dues, Ron finally had enough songs under his belt to release his first solo CD in 1997 entitled "This Box I'm Looking Through". Acoustic/Public Radio quickly took notice and started playing songs from this CD, including “The Folk Sampler with Mike Flynn” and WHRO/Barry Graham’s “Acoustic Highway”.
His latest recording effort came in 2012 when he was offered the opportunity to play and sing on Blues great, Eddie Shaw's newest CD, "Still Riding High".
Ron is still riding high, enjoying playing in venues which love to be entertained with Ron's enthusiastic performances. Don't miss an opportunity to see him in person.
