Biography:

Straight from the Jackson Browne/James Taylor/ Eagles folk rock cloth comes Ron Kemp. Considered a classic "late bloomer", Ron began playing guitar at age 32. Over the years he has written well over 100 songs, many still yet to be heard. In 1995, he completed his first song, "'Til The End of Time". Since then, he's continued to pour his heart and soul into his lyrics which has been hailed as "honest" and "organic". Drawing from a wide range of musical tastes, his melodies are accessible and "hummable". Captured on Better Late Than Never, his most recent CD, are songs from the heart: love songs. Lyrically, Ron tends to write in an autobiographical manner, sharing his joys and pains through his music.

Catch one of Ron's live performances, and you'll come away humming or singing some of your favorite songs from yesterday. Tom Petty. Bruce Springsteen. R.E.M.. The Eagles. And, so much more. It's a high-energy, rocking journey back to the days where the radio was flooded with one great song after another...the music we now call "Classic Rock". Indeed, it's called that for a reason, and Ron delivers it with an honestly, clarity, and integrity that will make you want to tap your toes and hum or sing along. Go ahead. Do it! That's what it's all about. And, that's what you can expect every time you see Ron Kemp perform live! It's a treat. And, it's a lot of fun.

Press:

"I enjoyed [his] show more than the show I saw last night and paid a lot of money for. You may know the guy: James Taylor."
Ryan Redmond - n/a

"He's a very good song writer. All his lyrics are wonderfully written. He puts out so much of himself, it's so different and so him. He shows his all."
Susan Singer-Bart (quote by Randy Anderson) - The Gazette

"Better Late than Never" is the newest release from the talented Folk/Rock musician Ron Kemp. The songs on this album for the most part just contain Kemp's warm and inviting voice and his sweet acoustic guitar, which gives the production a nice clean and crisp clarity..."
