Hollywood actor and musician Ronny Cox is known for his sophisticated, lyric-driven folk sound. On stage as well as in albums like his recent studio effort, Cowboy Savant, Ronny showcases what he describes as a mix of "folk, western, jazzy-bluesy and just plain corn ball stuff." Eclectic and compelling, Ronny presents his material with all the finesse of a 30-year veteran of the stage and screen, spicing it up with a great theatrical flair and numerous samples of his infamous "stories of questionable veracity."

As an actor, Ronny first came to public attention in 1972, when John Boorman cast him as one of the four unfortunate rafters in the film Deliverance -- it was he who engaged in the famous musical duel with the enigmatic young banjo picker. Since then, Ronny has appeared in over 50 films, including Bound for Glory, RoboCop, and Total Recall, and numerous television series like St. Elsewhere, The Agency, and Stargate SG1.

Ronny has also just released a live album (yes, it's called Ronny Cox Live), as well as a limited-release album recorded at his show at the Freight last July, the last performance of Ronny's ensemble before the tragic death of his womderful fiddle and mandolin player, Travis Parker.
