MUSIC

Performing songwriter Ronda Matson just released her evocative new collection of songs on her CD "Truth Be Told." Known for her intimate, arresting songwriting and soulful, deep-voiced singing style, Matson is described by many as a 21st-century troubadour. Her memorable, transformative songs are gems to savor. Each piece is a story - perhaps it's a relationship questioned, a decision celebrated. In the process, insights come to us and we walk away with a newfound strength. Each story is lushly illustrated by the ringing tones of her 12- and 6-string guitars. Personal and resonant, her music connects listeners with what really matters.
