The Ronny Cox Band

FAIRFIELD, OH – Under the leadership of superbly talented character actor, singer/songwriter and storyteller Ronny Cox, the Ronny Cox Band brings an eclectic mix of songs and stories to the Fairfield Community Arts Center Saturday, March 4 at 8:00 pm as part of the popular Fairfield Signature Sessions series. Scores of fans will attest that attending one of his performances is one of the greatest evenings to experience. With the gift of a consummate storyteller, he shares funny, sad and tender moments.

Tickets are $30 for orchestra seating and $25 for stadium seating. Call the FCAC Box Office at 513-867-5348 or purchase online at www.fairfield-city.org/tickets. This show is sponsored by Edoc Services, Inc. and funded in part by a grant from the Ohio Arts Council.

Of his show, Scott Alarik of the Boston Globe says, “He is a study in easygoing amiability and unforced charisma. He charms crowds with self-teasing humor, tart progressive insight, and a lulling Southwestern folk sound.”

Cox, one of Hollywood’s most versatile character actors, appeared for the first time in front of a camera playing the guitar in the dueling banjos scene in Deliverance, one of the most iconic scenes in the history of moviemaking. Since then, in his 40 years in Hollywood, he has appeared in more than 125 movies and TV shows, including Beverly Hills Cop, Total Recall, Taps, The Onion Field and Bound for Glory.

In 2012, Cox became an author with the release of “Dueling Banjos: The Deliverance of Drew,” a collection of stories about the movies and his own springboard into Hollywood that coincided with the 40th anniversary of the release of the film Deliverance.

His first love is music, however, and he plays at more than 100 shows at festivals and theaters every year. Cox has released eight CDs, including “Ronny Cox Live in Concert - The Official Bootleg,” out in 2014.
