Details:
Each song on Move On delivers ghostly familiar, but always new and engaging grooves and arrangements. In some ways, this recording is a welcomed return to the cross-over songwriting styles of decades past. In other ways, it is refreshingly original.

Ron works his steel and nylon string acoustic guitar like a piano arranger/composer, solidly laying down harmonically captivating samba, blues and jazz grooves against a bass/drum rhythm track. Supporting instruments are used like voices and backup vocals like instrumentation to sparsely adorn otherwise stand alone guitar songs.

There is no doubt that this is singer-songwriter material but this newcomer's knack for packaging music and lyrics contributes a new dimension to the genre. Ron seems to get his introspective jollies like a true songwriter but he spares the listener self-indulgent lyrics and instead fills the spaces between simply stated thoughts with engaging rhythms and instrumentation. This might explain the diverse audiences that this inaugural album and Ron's performances are steadily attracting.

Ron Harrison currently performs in the Michigan area as a solo act and occasionally with his studio band.
