Known for his intimate storytelling and infectious melodies, folk-pop crooner Ron Morris creates music that speaks to the heart. Spinning his own brand of melody-rich, folk-infused pop songs, Ron’s distinct voice and catchy hooks lift the spirit and touch the soul. “His lyrics and melodies intertwine seamlessly, creating a ‘songwriting landscape’ that is both beautiful and rocky (literally and figuratively),” says Ken Kleiber of That’s Kentertainment. Born in Jacksonville, FL and raised in a household where country music reigned, Ron learned early on his first lesson in songwriting: “keep it simple and with the story first.” In 1995, with the gift of an old guitar from his parents and a book of a 1,000 chords, he hit the road and began teaching himself how to play. His adventures took him across the U.S. meeting all kinds of people, gathering stories, and growing up. In 1997 he moved to New York City 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 a number of years and building a strong local following, Ron teamed with his friends at Roadworm Music to release his first CD, Speak True, in 2005. Truth Stained Lies, marks Morris’ third CD release, and his first time in the producer’s seat. From the punch of the electric guitar on the title track to the nuanced acoustic “March On”, Morris explores a diverse musical landscape that highlights the character of each song while maintaining the intimate storytelling that is a hallmark of his previous recordings. Ron’s first two albums, Speak True and Boyfriend and other sides of love, have been featured on National Public Radio’s This Way Out, Sirius Satellite Radio, MTV’s LOGO Network’s New/Now/Next and numerous local and regional radio programs. His first video, Boyfriend, reached the Top 5 of LOGO Network’s The Click List where it remained for 16 weeks. Ron is an artist who is true to himself, his music, and his audience. As soft as he is strong, wise as he is naïve, 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.
