BIO

Ronnie Presley writes about deep subject matters that are close to the heart, touches a nerve, sends a chill, or creates laughter. All the emotions of the human spirit can be reflected in his songs.

Living in a small town all his life, he has been touched by the lives of the common man and woman. He has these people and their lives, as much as his own, to draw upon. If 35 years of singing and performing all over Arkansas, Texas, and Oklahoma have taught him anything, itâs the music in which we all live through.

Growing up not that far away from Dyess, Arkansas where Johnny Cash once lived and with Presley in his blood, you could say he was born with it or has actually lived it. The heart and soul felt emotions that are found in his music are much like the experiences that he, his family and neighbors have lived. The old houses, fields, farms, gravel roads, and southern spirits are a few of the backdrops for the inspirations.

Losses of loved ones can be remembered or relived through these songs of blues and country flavored lyrics. Writing a song seems to be the perfect remedy for forgiveness. You have to shed a tear or laugh to know if itâs good songwriting.

Caraway Arkansas is now smaller but there used to be a Tastee-Freeze, a dry goods store, and a crawdad hole to fish out of. The old Western Auto store is still there, and his first guitar came from there. It was a sixteen dollar TrueTone but to him it was much more, it was a serious hobby and fixation. A new guitar and sixteen year old kid in his first bar sure felt right for the times.

After years of playing in cover bands, in 2005 he ventured out on his own to pursue singing and songwriting as the dream he has always had. These days he writes about the past and present as seen through a much older, mature vision. This music is a testament for what is yet to be heard from the singer/songwriter. Stories of the south, its bars, places, people and religion can be found all throughout his music.
