Mooresville Concert Series
Big Ron Hunter and his Band
Mooresville Concerts opens its third season on Saturday, October 10, 2009 ?
7:30 p.m. with Carolina bluesman Big Ron Hunter, who sings his story while he
plays an acoustic guitar. He uses the guitar like a drum and bass while creating
almost a second voice. Ron calls himself an ''Overcomer.'' His adopted father
taught him how to make his guitar talk and promised him he´d go places if he
learned to play it right. After years of playing, mostly behind the scenes as he
raised a family he´s finally got the chance to get out there and make a name for
himself. He´s made a lot of fans playing acoustic sets at the Blues Bash in
Charleston where he did double duty playing electric with the King Bees and
Nappy Brown. The songs he write sand plays with his "Big Band" have been pouring
out for years. He has stories to tell and messages to deliver. Ron pours his
heart out when he sings and plays.
This performance, the first of six concerts in the Historic Downtown Mooresville
is playing in the Joe Knox Theater at the Charles Mack Citizen´s Center.
Following each performance there will be a complimentary performers´ reception,
with refreshments, to give the audience an opportunity to meet the performers,
or just socialize. Tickets are $10, $5 for students, children under 10 free, or
season passes at $45. Tickets may be purchased at the Mack Center or at the
Mooresville Recreation Department office, or by calling (704) 662-3334.
