Ronny Cox, musician and noted actor, will be joined by South Carolina-born singer-songwriter-guitarist Jack Williams at Pithlachocco Lodge on March 29th at 7 pm. Ronny and Jack have collaborated musically many times in recent years, touring together on the US folk circuit and recording/producing Ronny’s most recent CD. Each will present his own music and stories in two separate sets, with Jack joining Ronny to accompany him on guitar.

 

While Ronny started out as a musician and has emphasized that side of his career for the past few years, he is still one of the most respected and sought-after character actors in Hollywood.  Since his debut as “Drew” in John Boorman's film "Deliverance" - including playing guitar in the famous "dueling banjos" scene - Ronny has appeared in over 50 films including "Beverly Hills Cop (I & II)", "Bound for Glory", "Robo Cop", "Total Recall", and has played the president of the U.S. at least four times (including “1600 Pennsylvania Avenue”).

 

In his most recent recording, “How I Love Them Old Songs: Ronny Cox Sings Mickey Newbury”, produced by Jack Williams, Ronny pays tribute to the music of the legendary Texas songwriter. His previous recordings, "Ronny Cox Live", "Cowboy Savant" and "Acoustic Eclectricity" showcase Ronny’s home grown style of folk music and the lively story-telling that goes with it. Steadily increasing his following on the U.S. folk music circuit, he has headlined at such venues as the prestigious Old Town School of Folk in Chicago, the New Bedford SummerFest, and the Kerrville Folk Festival, a favorite of Ronny’s held annually in Kerrville, Texas.

 

Whether it is in his acting or his music, Ronny is a storyteller who says, “I’ve never felt the truth should get in the way of a good story!”

Jack Williams is well known in the contemporary U.S. folk community as a Southern singer/ songwriter/ storyteller and unique guitarist. He continues to tour the U.S., as he has for the past 50 years, out of his love of music and performing. Jack books an annual circuit of approximately 100 U.S. festivals, house concerts and major folk venues each year, and has been a featured performer on the stages of the Philadelphia, SummerFest, Kerrville, Boston, and Newport Folk Festivals.  In addition to his US audience, Jack has also become a favorite in England, Canada and Europe.

 

His original songs celebrating the characters, attitudes and life in the American South can be found on his DVD and seven CDs released on the Wind River / Folk Era label. His newest album, “Don’t Let Go”, is a tribute to some of the writers and songs that had the greatest impact on his musical development.

 

Jack Williams’ music is born at the meeting ground of the traditional and the contemporary – original Southern-American songwriting and performance at its best, drawing deeply from the eclectic well of our musical heritage. Loaded with delightful influences from his career in jazz, classical, rock, blues, country and folk, Jack’s music is an easy, natural fusion of guitar, voice, songs, and stories.
