Ronnie Earl - Ronnie Earl & Friends

Guitarist Ronnie Earl (born Ronald Horvath) was born March 10, 1953, in New York City, but later moved to Boston. In 1975, while attending a Muddy Waters concert, he was so moved by what he heard that he decided to learn the guitar and dedicate himself to mastering the blues tradition. He was soon playing in clubs in and around the Boston area as well as backing various blues artists on tour. He claims that his main influences were T-Bone Walker, B.B. King, Magic Sam, and Robert Jr. Lockwood. In 1980, he replaced Duke Robillard in Roomful of Blues and worked with that band for eight years, helping to take the band to national acclaim. In the 1980s, Earl recorded three solo albums with his band the Broadcasters that were very well received: Smokin', (Black Top, 1983) They Call Me Mr. Earl (Black Top, 1984), and I Like It When It Rains (Antone's, 1990). Earl left Roomful of Blues in 1988 and continues to perform and record. His intense guitar style, somewhat in the style of T-Bone Walker, has made him one of the most respected young players in the business - much in demand as a backup musician for recording dates.--Michael Erlewine, All Music Guide
