He is one of the most serious blues guitarists you can find today. He makes me proud." ~ B. B. King "Perhaps the finest living blues guitarist on the planet." ~ The Boston Phoenix "Ronnie Earl caresses the strings with utmost sensitivity one moment, alternately following it by a cluster of hard-edged riffs." ~ Gary Tate/LivinBlues "Hope Radio shows the genius of Ronnie Earl & The Broadcasters." ~ Living Blues Hope Radio is a "Roomful of Ronnie." A "live-in-the-studio masterpiece" where "Earl reimagines the emotional possibilities of the guitar." ~ Hal Horowitz "He has released some twenty albums - but Ronnie Earl can still take your breath away."~ Guitar Player Magazine "When it's time for spiritual rejuvenation, it's time for a visit from Ronnie Earl, pastor of the church of tone." ~ Eric C. Shoaf, Vintage Guitar Ronnie Earl 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, taught for five years at the National Guitar summer workshop in Connecticut, and has given private lessons. In 1995 Ronnie released Ronnie Earl: Blues Guitar with Soul, an instructional VHS tape that was then rereleased in DVD format in 2005. Ronnie Earl 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, Jimmy Mouradian (bass), Dave Limina (organ), and Lorne Entress (drums), began playing together prior to the 2003 release of I Feel Like Going On on the Stony Plain Record label 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. Nick Adams (guitar) also joined the Broadcaster fold on Hope Radio with his skills on Blues for Otis Rush. Also a Broadcaster, although not appearing on an album was Dick Reed (organ). In 2008 the group celebrated twenty years of distinguished Broadcaster music, which Ronnie feels has taken on new meaning from the time he became clean and believes that the purpose of the Broadcasters is to broadcast peace, hope, good vibrations and soul. In June 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.
