“Bonnie Raitt and Steve Earle had a baby and named it Ron Mills”- Little Red Wagon Winery
Bio
Born and raised on a small dairy farm in Northern Ontario Ron's appreciation for music started at an early age. Kitchen parties, campfires and family gatherings always seemed to turn into a sing-along or dance party and anyin thing from classical to country to rock and blues was fair game.
Ron got his start in the Ottawa music scene touring the area with a traditional Celtic folk trio.
In 2017 Ron paid hommage to his home by releasing his first album “Duff Road” and followed with his second offering “Sad News”. Hi writing tells stories drawing from country, folk and blues. Humourus and heartbreaking his lyrics have been compared to Stan Rogers and John Prine
In the summer of 2025 Ron took his songs to the discerning ears of the Eastern Canada crowd. Playing music Festivals to Song Circles and pubs gathering friends and fans along the way.
“Ron is a fabulous songwriter / storyteller; sings with gentle humour, and knows exactly when to hit the heartstrings. If I wasn't hosting, I'd be lining up! ”
