Ron Austin, member of several jazz organizations including The American Legion Hall in NYC is well known in the church community as a community activist as a well sort after R&B and jazz vocalist and musician. Before becoming a MightyDreamer Angel member and diligently producing his long awaited soon to be released R&B CD, he would frequent many establishments as a booked artist playing with several bands, some of which he was bandleader. Ron Austin has appeared at major venues throughout NY during the pass decade including regularly at Sweetwaters in Manhattan and most recently at VLADA Lounge. Currently he is readying to help make "2 for Love" international and working in several church and hall concerts. The commanding singer and prolific R&B and jazz songwriter presents compelling lyrics, climatic voice phrasing and passionate musical story lines. His smooth singing style and guitar playing is both in synche with today's compositions and yet can be stated as being ahead of time. This is a spirit building artist. Mr. Austin was heard singing lead and doing duets with Sharon L. West throughout the first session of the "2 for Love" series at the MightyDreamer Angel Jazz program that ended December 31st, 2009. Expect to experience more original music by Ron during the March to September session in 2010.
