About Ron Stewart
|
|
RON STEWART, fast becoming a bluegrass
legend in his own right, is probably the most respected
multi-instrumentalist in bluegrass today. Like Jesse Brock, he grew up playing with his
family band in Paoli, Indiana, and had already been invited to play
fiddle on a live album with his legendary hero, Lester Flatt, by
the time he was nine years old. He is the five-string banjo player
extraordinaire for the Lynn Morris Band, and also performs on lead
guitar and fiddle onstage. His gutsy and soulful fiddle playing
has earned him the Indiana State Fiddle Championship twice, and the
IBMA Fiddle Player of the Year in 2000, as well. He makes his home
in rural Paoli, Indiana and maintains a blistering schedule as a
recording session player in addition to his steady gig with The
Lynn Morris Band.
His new solo CD on Rounder, Time Stands Still, features Ron's earthy vocals and fiery instrumental drive on banjo, fiddle, and guitar (as well as mandolin and bass on one of his original cuts, 'Riding the Saranac'.) Ron hand picked some of his most talented favorites to appear as guest artists on the project, and wrote half the material himself. Don't miss this one, folks! |
