Ronny Cox

"Songs, Stories and Out and Out Lies"

Actor/Musician Ronny Cox asks, "Have you ever wondered how a story of 'questionable veracity' gets started?" Then, as storytellers will do, he gives the answer. "Some small grains of truth gets twisted and turned, and then told and retold. Eventually it grows into a boulder of 'undeniable truth' that you would bet your house on." So begins "Songs, Stories and Out & Out Lies," an evening with Ronny Cox and band, featuring - well, songs, stories and more than a few out and out lies.

Ronny Cox started out as a musician, but is also one of the most respected and sought after character actors in Hollywood. Since his debut in the classic movie "Deliverance," including playing guitar in the famous Dueling Banjos scene, Ronny has appeared in over 50 films, including "Beverly Hills Cop," "Bound for Glory," "Robocop" and "Total Recall," as well as numerous TV series.

With "Song, Stories and Out & Out Lies," he returns to his music and storytelling roots. Ronny performs and writes ballads of the purest sort, at once touchingly nostalgic and mischievously humorous. But it is not just his music that is enthralling audiences. Ronny is also a notable storyteller. "I've never felt the truth should get in the way of a good story," he confesses, with a twinkle in his eye. "I have found that people love to know something about the song, or the characters, or the circumstances. I have also discovered that, if I don't know the story, I can just make one up. Quite frankly, people generally get more caught up in the manufactured stories than the true ones.

What compels an established actor to embrace his music making and storytelling roots? Ronny Cox sums it up nicely. "I'm interested in weaving a tapestry of songs and stories with an overall arc that eventually comes together and tells us something about the human condition - and to have a few laughs along the way.

His latest album is "Ronny Cox: Songs…with Repercussions". The music is eclectic, funny, touching - and always compelling. They showcase an original, sophisticated lyric-driven folky sound...and the stories that accompany these songs in "Song, Stories and Out & Out Lies" are something else entirely.  Be prepared to take a unique and emotional journey with this fun-filled and thought-provoking show.  Just don't bet your house on it.

"So-o-o-o-o excellent. Resonant hearty singing. Swirling melody. Brilliantly evocative." Robert K. Oermann in Music Row

"Ronny Cox is a study in easy going amiability and unforced charisma. He charms crowds with self teasing humor, tart progressive insight, and a lulling Southwestern folk sound." Scott Alarik in the Boston Globe.

"Ronny Cox is like Tom Russell meets the Sons of the Pioneers, with a social conscience and fine storytelling that touches something deep inside each of us." Larry Wines in Folk Works.
