Ronnie Wells Returns to the Spotlight With New CD and Solo Performance Act

LOS ANGELES - Jan. 29, 2015 - PRLog -- LOS ANGELES, CALIF. – January 14^th, 2015 — Musician and performer Ronnie Wells is set to release his next CD, “Say it With a Song” and will begin his new solo performance in 2015. In 2012, Ronnie released his first solo album, “My Bad” and he has also written, arranged, recorded and produced material for other artists that include David Clayton Thomas, Billy Joel, Kenny Rogers, Engleburt, The Classics Four and Davie Jones.

“Say it With a Song” will feature selections from “The Great American Songbook” and the live performance act will showcase all of Ronnie Wells’ combined talents, along with his timeless appeal. “The show is being geared toward hotel and cruise type venues, and will possibly include everything from a comedic opening act, to a full band, to female background vocalists…all depending upon the venue,” says Wells.

The New Jersey based musician began his long musical career in the 1960’s and throughout the years he gained much recognition as a singer and bass player in a variety of popular acts that include “Ronnie Wells & The Fabulons”, “The Sound Exchange”, “Long Train” and “Billboard”, regularly performing in popular New York City night clubs such as “The Wagon Wheel, “The Peppermint Lounge” and “The Metropole”.

Ronnie had also co-wrote and recorded the song “Shiftin’ Willie” that was performed by Conan O’Brien in a live comedy skit filmed in Mahwah, New Jersey and later used in an episode of the “Late Night With Conan O’Brien” show.

What also sets Ronnie Wells apart from most other professional musicians is that he managed to have a long and successful career in the medical field as well. After graduating from St. Peters College and New York University, Ronnie began practicing as a Respiratory Therapist and as a Physician Assistant by day, and performing gigs at night. While the dueling worlds gave his life the ideal symbiotic balance, Ronnie admits that switching back and forth from the opposing personas also had its challenges.“I would be playing gigs in the city until the wee hours of the morning and then showing up at my early morning shifts in the intensive care unit still wearing my bell bottoms and big hair from the night before,” Ronnie laughs.

In 2010, he retired from the medical field and began devoting himself full-time to writing, arranging, recording and producing music. Now a grandfather of seven, Ronnie Wells still shows no signs of slowing down and is ready for his return to the spotlight.
