About this concert
On New Year's Day Ron will perform his new long-awaited new album, "Purpose". Featuring all-new music from Ron Artis II & The Truth. The evening will be served as a 'three-course meal'; Ron Artis II & The Truth, a 2nd course with Strings, and a 3rd surprise course to close the night.
To say that Ron Artis II plays music from his heart and soul would be a bit of understatement. Ron has played sell out shows from coast to coast with his long list of collaborators and more. His debut full length album “Soul Street” dropped in early April, 2020 and has already garnered wide critical praise. The album crystallizes the full range of Ron’s influences—deep Delta Blues and Gospel, plus Northern Soul and R&B, alongside in-depth and personal lyrics—into a tight collection of fresh yet familiar songs that are at once urgent and timeless.

Lovely auditorium, great acoustics.
Ron was solo, with acoustic guitar and hollow-body electric, played thru a Quilter amp.
Barefoot as usual, tapping on and adjusting his several pedals, as he mixed echo, distortion delay, and various other effects. Played about 10 tunes, with audience Q&A (this is a music and art center) which was congenial and pleasant.
Playing was tasty, mostly chill mellow, with nice dynamic range in volume, bluesy jams to light-touch on the guitar, and nice vocals to match. Maybe not as warmed up on the vocals (pitch was on, but tone a little rough at times) as he is when playing a bigger gig. Kept tunes short (3-4 min max), solos modest/minimal as he was not using any backing tracks or looping. He was having a good time and his sincere and loving vibe came thru nicely! Intimate show.
OK, not the ripping show we got last summer at WhaleRock in Paso Robles, but was not expecting that either. Well done Ron! Looking forward to seeing you again.
