Ron Pirtle is “one of the most sought after bassists in Brevard County”, according to Florida Today news.
He is an Ohio farm boy by heritage, a retired mail carrier, and an exceptional bass player. His music journey began at the age of 12 when his parents gave him an electric bass guitar. His brother played lead guitar, so the two boys formed a rock and roll band. Ron’s proficiency grew with the music and his bass, and soon he was much in demand by other bands. Ron traveled throughout Ohio and neighboring Pennsylvania, playing music.
He discovered blues and jazz when he worked with an older blues piano player and switched to upright acoustic bass. From there, he nurtured his talent and love for this pure American art form.
Currently, Ron works a couple of regular weekly night club gigs and takes other dates when they come available. He leads his own jazz group, the Ron Pirtle Quintet, and has recorded a CD, “Gettin’ in the Groove”, with that group. In the meantime, Ron can be heard playing his bass all over Central Florida.
General admission is paid at the door. $30 for members of the Jazz Society and Brevard Veterans Memorial Center. $35 for guests and students are FREE. Bring your own food and drinks, Tables, chairs and a beautiful view of the river are provided.
