From the title of one of his greatest hits, “Like a arrow in the bottom of the heart”, comes Ron's summer tour, which starting from June 23rd will take him around all of Italy. Thus continues Ron's live journey that began with the theater tour “At the exact center of music”. After the winter tour, the singer-songwriter from Pavia will bring his music live in an electric version – in quartet or sextet, depending on the dates and characteristics of the venue – for a less intimate and more rhythmic show. In the summer setlist, in fact, Ron will propose some songs and covers rarely performed live: “Per questo notte che cade giu” (from the 1983 album “Calypso”), the Italian versions of two hits, “Hai capito o no” ( “I Can't Go For That” by Daryl Hall & John Oates) and “Wounds and Tears” (“You”, by Ten Sharp), and “What I'll Do” (cover of “Lonely Boy” by Andrew Gold, taken from from the 1982 album “Look Who You See”). And there will be no shortage of other successes in his career as well as some of the most recent songs, taken from the album “Sono un Figlio”, and the homage to Luigi Tenco (“Far away”).
“What I like about concerts is being able to move from one musical world to another, because music is like that: it can always be listened to and appreciated. Summer is full of colors, particular sounds, memories and songs that people need to take back in their hands… songs that evoke for each of us moments of our past relived with nostalgia…. emotions that suddenly strike 'like an arrow to the bottom of the heart,'” Ron said.
But it's not the only news for Ron: two of the most particular albums in the Pavia-born singer-songwriter's discography will be released for the first time on vinyl on June 21st by the Saifam label: “Way Out” and “In Concerto”. “Way Out”, Ron's twenty-second album, released in 2013 and containing twelve covers of songs by the Anglo-American singer-songwriters of that period, translated into Italian by Ron himself and Mattia Del Forno. “In Concerto” is an album that documents the 2007 live show with the Tuscan Jazz Orchestra at the Martinetti Theater in Garlasco, the city where the singer-songwriter lives, and with which he revisited many songs from his repertoire.
