Ronnie's Words Of Musical Expression:

Music is one of the most powerful and precious gifts we all share.

The best that any of us can do is try to connect with the core of what it is that drives us to express ourselves through any creative medium we choose, and bring as much of ourselves as we can to that process.

I have chosen playing guitar and composing music (or have they chosen me?) as my principal means of creative expression.

For me, the work of refining that process is always ongoing.

My wish is that you find all of the pleasure and joy in listening to this music that I found in creating it.

My deepest gratitude to the incredible gifted and talented musicians who helped me to bring this music to you.

Ronnie.

A Message from the Montrose Family

By now, the devastating truth of Ronnie’s death is public knowledge. We hope you can understand why we wanted to keep this news a private family matter for as long as possible. We can only hope that you will choose to celebrate Ronnie’s life, and what his music meant to you, rather than mourn his passing. Ronnie would have wanted it that way. He loved being a guitarist, a composer, a producer, and a creator of magic. He fully understood his gifts, and yet he constantly pushed himself to evolve, improve, and make better music. He did this for himself, and he did this for you, because he adored and appreciated his fans. Please keep his energy, his joy, and his love in your hearts.

Please note that there will be no more statements from the Montrose family at this time. We ask that you respect the family's privacy.
