Michael Ronstadt, cellist and singer/songwriter, is "an exceptional musician-composer [who] creates a masterful canvas with genre-blending explorations on cello…in complement to thought-provoking lyrics," says Stephanie Ledgin, author of Discovering Folk Music. This nephew to Linda Ronstadt is also a much in-demand studio musician, having appeared on more than 50 albums in the last 12 years with his “amazing command of the typical and exotic sounds of the cello, a true virtuoso and a man of instinctive musicality," says The Tuscon Citizen. He performs original songs, folk, celtic, and rock on cello. Suggested $10 at the door.
