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.

Daniel Ward
Daniel Ward’s polymath approach is born from his passion and appetite for the diversity of music. Born in

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.
