A Quality of Mercy
Hello, my name is Ron Rentz and currently I am "A Quality of Mercy." I hope to be welcoming new members to the band soon, but until they arrive it's just me. I write all the music and lyrics for the songs listed here on the site. I play rhythm guitar but mainly I do vocals. I create the music for my songs on a virtual music site, then send it to a friend of mine, Robert Lee Hall, c/o Trebor Labs Studio in Lancaster, KY. who produces all of my music, and will often add lead guitar or various other instruments. He is an extremely talented producer, and I'm thankful that he is comfortable working with me. My day job is being an RN, specialty emergency medicine. I believe my greatest strength is my lyric writing ability. It's old school, but some of my favorite mentors/ musicians provided me with a great education, i.e: Peter Gabriel, Elvis Costello, Brian Wilson, Bryan Ferry, David Byrne, etc. I hope you'll take the time to listen to my music and let me know what you think. Thanks for stopping by...
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
It's in developmental stages at present, so the history is as of yet, unwritten. Anyone want to be a part of history?
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Not at present, as I am the sole member of the band, but I would love to eventually play live often. It is the culmination of making music, to perform it live for others interested in hearing you play. What a rush it is...
Your musical influences
Peter Gabriel, Elvis Costello, Bryan Ferry, Genesis, Roxy Music, David Byrne, Talking Heads
