The Step Brothers
Jon Roniger's heartfelt roots rock is a truly American slice of songwriting. Adding his unique voice to the lineage of great artists like Croce, Forbert and Mellencamp, Roniger brings to the table music that touches on the human spirit without pretence and with much emotional power. Capturing the passion and power of what it means to be us, his songs are mirrors into which we each can look and see ourselves.
Roniger's songwriting masterfully captures the keen colors of the human heart, embodying the full array of feelings of which we are capable. "Music makes me feel euphoria, desire, loneliness, nostalgia, sorrow and elation," Roniger says. And his intense emotional life can be heard in each of his songs as he explores hurt and happiness, love and sadness, shying away from nothing, embracing everything from love to heartbreak with equal fervor.
Roniger has shared the stage with such artists as Big Head Todd and the Monsters, The Samples, Stroke 9, Luce, members of The Counting Crows, Taylor Swift, The Mavericks, The Jayhawks, Eddie Money and others. He tours regularly with a focus on acoustic music of late. Roniger just finished a three-year tour stateside and six tours in Ireland, The United Kingdom and Europe. His latest album was recorded at Nashville's 16 Ton Recording Studios on Music Row called "Charmed Life." It was produced by Robert Reynolds (The Mavericks) and Jim Reilley (New Dylans, Curb Writer). He will be returning to Europe on a regular basis and is involved in a project in which he releases a song per week for his "Songs in the Raw" blog.
