This is my artist bio. Who has time to read this in 2022? With all that's happening? With these attention spans? I know I am not cool or important -- no one is -- I think it's a good thing. Listen to the music, come to a show, think for yourself. The best compliment I ever received was when someone told me they can never tell when I am serious. My two biggest fears are opposites -- having a child or killing someone. You're probably a little confused or annoyed, but at least you're not asleep. That's kind of my thing. I bet you made it this far. Success!!!

We have all been through a lot. Especially the last few years but also all the years before that. There was never time to collectively stop and question what has been considered "normal" for so long and it turns out nothing really is. These ways of thinking and doing in America were never serving everyone but now they're not serving anyone (except maybe 5 guys that all look identical and own everything). So, I spent an entire record trying to understand what is happening, what's wrong with this place and what's wrong with myself, it's called "FOREGROUND MUSIC" and it's going to come out on legendary label, Kill Rock Stars, on 3/3/23.

Now, 50 lifetimes and too much time to think later, I'm full circle, living back in Philly a block from where I made the first record. The neighborhood has become a giant construction site, humanity has too, and I feel similar angst to those early days. I live with my life/musical partner, Chiara D'Anzieri, AKA Santa Chiara, who immigrated from Italy to the U.S. in the beginning of 2020. She plays bass (+ many others instruments) and co-produced "FOREGROUND MUSIC" with me. Having an outsiders perspective on our country and seeing other places has really shown me how fucked up America can be. I strongly suggest getting away from it if you can. Or, if you can't, maybe this album or a show of ours can help you find a way out from within.

Yours Truly, Ron
