Rockin' Ron's Messages in a Bottle
“… a kind of subtle genius….” Seven Days review
I received the best review of my career from Chris Farnsworth in Seven Days – Vermont’s Independent Weekly! Here are some highlights:
“There’s a kind of subtle genius to Rockin’ Ron’s songwriting; balancing a sense of fun with an educational bent.”
“Vermont’s most nautical of kids’ music pirates is back with a new album full of sing-alongs, life lessons and positivity. The Smugglers’ Notch-based singer-songwriter mixes fun and education into catchy, aquatic-themed tunes.”
“Ron’s latest offering, Everyone on Board, continues his long and consistent run of entertaining records.”
“He adds just enough musical tricks to keep adult listeners interested, even as he gets the kids singing along.”
