Ron Sunshine & Full Swing

Singer, songwriter, harmonica master Ron Sunshine, (Born in Denver, NYC resident for 22 years, now relocated to Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley) has been performing all around the world with his band Full Swing since 1990, releasing five CDs along the way. The current lineup includes saxophonist Craig Dreyer, drummer Jason Pharr, bassist Tom Pietrycha, pianist Matt Ray, trumpeter Tim Ouimette, and guitarist Matt Chertkoff, often joined by ace vocalists Queen Esther, Madeleine Peyroux, and others.

Sunshine can also be heard performing in clubs with his jazz organ quartet, as well as crooning at the fabled Rainbow Room with a 12-piece big band -- and everything in between. The mixture of music has been perfect for hundreds of private and corporate parties, as well as festivals, concerts, and casinos.

With his soulful blend of catchy original songs, jazz standards, and blues/R&B classics, the Ron and the band continue to win followers on their travels, having been featured on CNN, BET, NBC, Fox, BBC, and other international television, as well as numerous nationally released compilation CDs, books, films, and radio. They have dazzled audiences from New york to Los Angeles, from Paris to Stockholm, from Bermuda to the Red Bank.

"Move over Voodoo Daddy, now there's something hipper. Local swing fans, pat yourself on the back and say "I've known about Ron Sunshine for years." For those only recently tuned into the revival, you're just in time to see Sunshine come full swing from the diry days at Tramps to the sleek 'n' chic dinner dancing joint, The Supper Club."

--Robin Rothman, THE VILLAGE VOICE

"The bottom line is the music, and if any band swings harder, more naturally, or with more genuine, unpretentious savoir faire than Ron Sunshine & Full Swing, I haven't heard it yet."

--Lee Jeske, BILLBOARD, THE N.Y. TIMES, ROLLING STONE
