Ronny Cox to perform at Caltech Dec. 11

Musician/Actor Ronny Cox will be appearing at Caltech Folk Music Society on Dec. 11 at Beckman Auditorium, California Institute of Technology.

Ronny’s latest recording, “Ronny Cox…Songs With Repercussions” reached the number one position in the country in the Folk DJ chart folk record just a year ago and ended up in the #49 position for the entire year. In his case, however, the word “folk” is a slight misnomer. He’s a storyteller. Like Ronny, the songs are eclectic, funny, touching, insightful and compelling. Each tune showcases an original, sophisticated lyric-driven sound and the stories that accompany these songs… are something else entirely.

In February, 2010 Wind River Records re-released Ronny’s excellent tribute to the great songwriter Mickey Newbury entitled “How I Love Them Old Songs”.

Ronny grew up in New Mexico listening to Texas Swing tunes, but then played rock & roll in high school, and was eventually drawn to folk music after graduating from college. Born in Cloudcroft, New Mexico, his acting career spans over a hundred and twenty-five films and television shows. Ronny is often ironically identified with the villains he has played in movies like TOTAL RECALL, ROBOCOP and the ruthless politician in the hit science fiction TV series STARGATE. Ronny's first film… his first time acting in front of a camera….was as the guitarist in the famous "dueling banjos" scene in DELIVERANCE. His second big film was BOUND FOR GLORY, Hal Ashby’s film about Woody Guthrie.

Only in the last 10 years has the world seen him evolve from being an “actor who sings” into knowing him as a “singer who happens to have a pretty fair career acting.”
