Ron Leary's a machine, not an overly fine-tuned machine, in fact one full of knocks, but a machine nonetheless. Playing over 150 shows in each of the past two years, and aiming for 200 this year, Ron's a seasoned veteran on the stage. A captivating performer who's sarcastic and self-effacing tone will have you laughing boisterously one second and then wondering if you should have the next. It's usually his voice that people talk about the most, one that's been compared to "an old bottle of whiskey - warm, with a little bite and a velvety finish." But the brand new debut full-length release, theroadinbetween, produced by Dean Drouillard, also makes a strong case for Ron as the fine crafter of song and words. The debut discusses all of the hot topics of the day, like tradition, suicide, drinking & driving (sorry MADD), love, love lost, new beginnings, and other stuff.
