If you would like to listen to any of the songs above, just highlight any of the songs listed, and the player will automatically start that song...

Well I guess the band "Rone" presently consist of me, myself, and I alone (along with that movement of the Holy Spirit and Word). The focus of the band identity is to share the songs in my heart, as an effort to spread the "Good New of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to and the un-churched, and as well, to encourage brothers and sisters, in Christ, the life experiences depicted in these songs.
Why this name?
In Ps 32:7, the Hebrew word pronounced "rone" is used and translated as "songs"; as well, "Rone" is a combination of my first name "Ron" added with the first letter of my middle name "e"; thus "Rone"; in my heart, it carries with it that sense of the Hebrew in: "a cry of joy", as one intensively overcome, in being encompassed by the security of a deliverance, as one marches, enveloped in the security of our Deliver, Jesus Christ!
Do you play live?
I from time to time play in local café.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think it works just fine in that capacity... but even more so, it amazes me, just by the fact that people all over the world can share, their heart felt songs towards the Lord, with each other as a sort of "web music ministry"... and so for me, it is just about that impact it may have, towards the furtherance of the Kingdom of God! And so, it is more to those issues of "glory & grace" that I think about mostly in this regards. I know it is affecting the music industry as a whole in a remarkably way!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
LOL - If God so wills it.
Band History:
I have been a christian for, now going on, 12 years, and I started writing spiritual songs almost immediately after that deliverance; I presently have penned 50+ compositions, as a follower of Jesus Christ.

About two years ago, I felt strongly compelled to start playing those former song in public, and now, I'm also trying to get them recorded in some fashion, so that I might share them with a greater public as well, as a "web music ministry" of sorts. All praise to God Almighty!
Your influences?
Lots of secular bands have had an influence on me in the past 58 years of my life, as one that was exposed musically to pop, rock, folk, & even a little country & classical; in the past I think Jackson Browne, Neil Young, the Birds, Beatles, James Taylor, Dylan, and the Eagles have most influenced me musically and stylistically, but I now give all praise and glory to those influences of my Savior, Master, & Lord, Jesus Christ.
Favorite spot?
Mmm... of God's creation: the mountains, forests, beaches, & those places were one can still see the stars of the heavens that so lovingly surround us; I've loved spending time in many European cities, and have enjoyed all those other places I have been able to visit in the world, but really... I am contented, just, where ever I am!
Equipment used:
Acoustic & electric guitar - electric bass - keyboard synthesizer - using "Logic Pro" on an iMac.
Anything else...?

James, I've listened to about 6 or 7 of your songs, and I like this one the most so far. The writing is less cluttered and you give the phrases more time to breathe. The hook is full and distinguishable. Your voice sounds more relaxed in more parts, although you still seem to be singing a little above the sweet spot of your natural range in several places. You are a very genuine writer. Keep praising God, I know that He loves it!
