Ronald Meck is a veteran performer of three decades residing in
Shutesbury, Massachusetts. His soulful baritone and masterful guitar
work give full vent to the passion of the traditional Celtic and
contemporary ballads he conveys. Meck’s solo career has been intertwined
with participation in numerous bands including "Occam's Razor" of
Massachusetts and the tremendously popular Vermont Celtic quartet,
"Gypsy Reel". But most audiences would agree his solo art is his most
enticing work, strongly influenced by such greats as Dick Gaughan, Stan
Rogers, and Martin Carthy. He has been an opening act for Taj Mahal,
Pure Prarie League and Ossian. His primary instruments are 6/12 string guitars, supplemented with
tenor banjo and bouzouki.
Ronald is very
pleased to now offer concerts accompanied by his son
Adrian, an accomplished fiddler and symphonic violinist with 17 years
playing experience. Adrian is a blossuming musician who' sensitivity to
the emotional timbre of the lyrics and penetrating, toe tapping
interpretation of traditional dance tunes serve to add an exquisite and
exciting dimension to their performances.
