Denver - Ronny Cox may be best-known for his acting, having appeared in major films and popular television series such as Deliverance, Beverly Hills Cop, St. Elsewhere, and Star Trek: The Next Generation, among many others. However, he spends half his time as a singer/songwriter performing at folk festivals, concert venues, and intimate theaters, where he showcases a wonderful acoustic mix of folk, western, jazz-blues, and just plain cornball stuff. He’s made musical appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and National Public Radio E-Town, in addition to a host of other media appearances. Country Sounds writes, "Ronny Cox is not an actor that got a notion to become a singer; he is however, a singer-songwriter who just happens to have had great success as an actor."

He will be joined by guitarist, singer/songwriter, and storyteller, Jack Williams, who also has a colorful career. He played trumpet in a jazz quartet in a beatnik coffeehouse in Seattle in 1959, reading poetry to the audience during breaks. He learned banjo and mandolin to spice up folk groups in the '60s in Georgia. He played pedal-steel guitar in a country-rock band, and classical guitar/lute in a Renaissance ensemble. His skill with instrumental composition won him a national arts grant in 1967, which has led to his later arrangements for other artists' recordings, including some for Ronny Cox. As a guitarist, Jack has accompanied Tom Paxton, Peter Yarrow, Mickey Newbury and Harry Nilsson. "The best guitar player I’ve ever heard." — Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary.
