Ron Crowder
Singer/songwriter Ron Crowder studied music theory and composition at the University of New Mexico, while working in recording studios and working his way into becoming a member of New Mexico’s recording studio elite, winning numerous awards (eg: Tellys, Silver Microphones, Addys, American Marketing Association, New Mexico Music Awards) as a songwriter, producer, recording engineer and composer. Through it all, songwriting has always remained his passion. “The thing that would mean the most to me now is if my music could move people the way I have been moved by my favorite songwriters. That’s my goal with every song I write.”
He has also gone on to travel the world as a touring and recording musician, sharing the stage with acts as diverse as Three Dog Night, The Persuasions, The Main Squeeze and 3-time Grammy winner, Fantastic Negrito, among many others.“What has sustained me all of these years is the love and the laughter and the music.
For me they go hand in hand. It’s about so much more than music for me. My music is truly an outgrowth of that all-powerful love. It’s what drives everything for me.” With a great band backing him he continues to bring music that carries influences of rock, pop, funk and soul for people to enjoy.

An Albuquerque native, Ron has traveled the world as a touring and recording musician, sharing the stage with acts as diverse as Three Dog Night, The Persuasions, The Zombies, The Main Squeeze and 3-time Grammy winner, Fantastic Negrito, among many others.

John’s skills in trap-set are legendary, and he has pioneered a whole new approach to Flamenco cajon as well as mastering many hand percussion instruments.
Daniel Ward
Daniel Ward’s polymath approach is born from his passion and appetite for the diversity of music. Born in Los Alamos, NM to a nuclear chemist/conductor, he holds degrees in classical guitar and composition from the University of New Mexico. Touring with dance companies provided him a “road scholarship” with great guitarists who taught him his 100 mile-and-hour technique. As Ottmar Liebert’s right-hand rumbero on successive world tours, he held down the groove, and learned the patience and humility it takes to survive as a professional. Currently, Daniel is finding fulfillment passing his skills to the next generation, teaching at New Mexico High School for the Arts in Santa Fe and as interim Head of Guitar Studies at UNM.
