Late in 2015 I moved from Sydney to Kingscliff and started looking to perform in the Tweed Valley area as a soloist, duo trio or band. I am a lead guitarist and lead vocalist, spanning a musical career of over 40 years, and more recently performing under the solo name of Rockin’ Ron. With a huge repertoire of songs specialising in the hits from the 60’s and beyond, I have performed hundreds and hundreds of shows to thousands upon thousands of eager music enthusiasts up and down the east coast of Australia.
During 2016 I performed locally at Kingscliff Bowling Club, and other local clubs, and also did a Beatles show at Windsor RSL, a Beach Boys Show at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, and The 3Bs Show at Goulburn and St Georges Basin.
Prior to 2016, I formed and managed two tribute shows, and performed as lead guitarist and singer in all. The 3Bs Show, a very successful tribute show presenting the Bee Gees, Beach Boys and Beatles performing regularly in Sydney and the greater area. We also presented the Immortality Show, a Bee Gees show with an opening Hollies Tribute, The Australian Monkees Show', and The Monkees Live Again. More recently on the Gold Coast and Northern rivers, we had The Herman's Hermits Story and The Mersey Connection. Many of the hits from these shows are all time favourites, and many are included in my solo/duo work.
