More about Ron:
Ron Hunter was born in Winston-Salem, NC.  His father, who was a sharecropper, taught Ron how to sing and play the guitar at a young age.  Mentored by the legendary Guitar Gabriel and versed in R&B, Rock & the Blues of BB King, Ron plays both electric and acoustic guitars in dramatically different styles.  From Gabe’s advice, Hunter developed his unique sound all while raising a family and working a day job.  As a maintenance man, you could find Ron locked up in his closet-sized office, plucking away at his guitar and pouring out the blues.

Hunter just released his second album, the Great Unknown, which, aside from receiving praise in the Living Blues magazine, proves his mastery of the blues and folk niches.

Now touring with the Music Maker Revue, Hunter has entered the Blues scene at full speed.
