SOULFUL. MUSIC. SERIOUS ABOUT IT.

Quick Bio

Real quick… I’m a guitar player with a deep love for American jazz and blues, as well as Latin American music, all of which find their way into my music. I’m based in the Hudson Valley, NY area.

What people are saying…

Ron Gonzalez brings Straight Ahead Jazz and unique interpretations of American pop songs. Relaxed vibe. Plenty of soul. The kind of night that unfolds naturally and keeps you lingering a little longer… Real musicianship… Come early, grab a seat. Let the music do the rest.  (Savage Wonder)

Listen to some of my music.

For now, there are just a couple of quick ‘n dirty demo tracks recorded in the basement—but shiny, pretty recordings are coming soon!

Sign up for emails from me.

Periodically I’ll send emails announcing where I’m playing, new recordings I’ve made, and other news. I promise I won’t spam you. Just the important stuff…
