Ron Spielmann Trio - Rocknacht
Really good rock needs a strong backbone and fine nerves: powerful stability and a sense of feeling. Ron Spielman has both. The guitarist, singer, and composer combines intricate songwriting at the highest level with the joyful directness of rock, and has been doing so for over 40 years. This is evidenced by his 15 released albums under his own name so far.
Blues and soul he has, funk and jazz as well, but what is truly exciting is the space between the genres, which Ron plays with ease on the rock stage. His credo: “For me, music is special when it offers enough space within itself: Everyone is allowed to enter and, in a wondrous way, find exactly what they have always been looking for.” This personal “parallel world” is opened by Spielman with modern rock songs: touching and captivatingly authentic, massive and intricate, anthemic and occasionally ballad-like intimate.
His new album "Lifeboat" stretches fine, clear melodic arcs over a rich, unobtrusive foundation. With sharply accented riffs and gently swaying choruses, he lyrically sheds light on modern society, with all its ups and downs.
His range and experience are enormous. Ron worked, among other things, for seven years as the musical director of the live band on SAT.1 breakfast television. He accompanied stars like Tommy Emmanuel, Bootsy Collins, Beth Hart, or Jamie Oliver. He sang live with Stevie Wonder, shared the stage with the Chick Corea Electric Band and Johnny “Guitar” Watson.
“I have lived and loved my music my whole life,” he says. His goal: to draw listeners into his music, “so they can be amazed to find that they are at home in it from the very first note.” His target audience is large: “People who have grown up on the side, without ever wanting to,” he explains. Just like the man on stage.
