As recently announced, Ron has been added to the roster for ROCKNPOD weekend taking place in Nashville this August. In this conversation, Ron talks about his early days in Nashville.

In this conversation, Ron shares the story of the band's early days, lineup changes, and how he feels about the legacy of the band.
