Ronnie Earl coming to Fryeburg Academy

FRYEBURG — Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters will be performing live at the Leura Hill Eastman Performing Arts Center on Friday, January 28 at 7:30 p.m.

Ronnie is a two-time (1997, 1999) W.C. Handy Blues Award winner as Guitar Player of the Year. He has served as an Associate Professor of Guitar at Berklee College of Music and has played alongside such greats as B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Carlos Santana, Eric Clapton, the Allman Brothers Band, Muddy Waters, Big Joe Turner, Otis Rush, Earl King, Junior Wells and Buddy Guy, as well as gifted young blues guitarists who he just might pull up on stage at a moment’s notice.

The current and gifted group of Broadcasters playing alongside Ronnie include Jimmy Mouradian (bass), Dave Limina (organ) and Lorne Entress (drums). They began playing together prior to the 2003 release of "I Feel Like Going On" and have now released a string of successful blues albums, including the 2007 release of "Hope Radio" and the 2008 DVD release of the "Hope Radio Sessions." On June 2, 2009 Ronnie and the Broadcasters released "Living in the Light," a clear reflection of Ronnie's good health and a story of a life firmly grounded in love.
