Ronnie Earl's got it. Whatever it is that makes The Blues dig down into your soul and stir it up. Whatever it is that can hold your attention with six strings and 22 frets and never sound stale or mediocre. Whatever it is that makes you smile in the midst of a very dangerous and heartless world. Whatever it is, he's got it down.
Maybe it was his years with Roomful of Blues. Or maybe it was the years touring with his own bands throughout the world that makes him equally conversant with the styles of Robert Jr. Lockwood, T-Bone Walker, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Or maybe it's something that you don't get on the road or alone in a room practicing scales. Maybe it's something you find inside yourself and learn to express on guitar, piano, easel, trowel or skillsaw. Maybe he's one of us and we can feel it when he plays, letting us know that, like us, he's been up, down and everywhere in between. Or maybe he's just one of the finest living Blues guitarists on the planet. If you love the Blues and you haven't been to a Ronnie Earl show, do yourself a favor.

The Broadcasters are: Dave Limina on keys, Forrest Padgett on drums, Paul Kochanski on bass, Diane Blue on vocals, and new Broadcaster Peter Ward on guitar and vocals.

Fans celebrated the release (July 2, 2024) of the authorized biography of Ronnie’s life, "Beautiful Child, the Life of Blues Guitarist Ronnie Earl in Technicolour."

Ronnie's newest album, "Mercy Me," came out in 2022 to rave reviews:
"Ronnie Earl outdoes himself on his latest disc, Mercy Me, delivering an 80-minute, emotion-packed masterclass of soul- and jazz-infused pleasers that clearly demonstrate why critics and peers alike put him on a pedestal all his own." - Blues Blast Magazine

"On Mercy Me Ronnie Earl shows that his impeccable guitar talents only seem to have gotten better. His touch and tone are minimalist but eloquent, each note virtually its own musical statement, combining for a magical depth of feeling and soulfulness." - Blues Roadhouse

"Known for his tasty, minimalist licks, pedal-free tone, and his sense of intention, which makes every note he plays meaningful, Mercy Me is chock full of Earl’s magic and grace and he remains one of the most genuine parts of the blues community." - Rock & Blues Muse
