notes

Ronnda Cadle began playing guitar in her hometown of Baltimore in 1985. She moved to Columbus, Ohio in 1992 and formed her first acoustic duo with friend and singer Jennifer Feldon. Her next project was with Betsy Brushart before Betsy moved on to Nashville. Ronnda headed to Atlanta to continue her musical endeavors and co-founded a six-piece folk rock band called Fat Chance. They performed at venues throughout the Southeast, recording their first CD with two-time Grammy Award winning producer Don McCollister (Indigo Girls, Sister Hazel, Shawn Mullins, Third Day).

When Fat Chance disbanded in 2002, Ronnda joined 2003 American Music Award winner "Best Unsigned Artist", Moe Loughran, as her guitarist. Together they toured London and performed at many well-known venues within the United States.

In 2006, Ronnda embarked upon a new vision when she released her first solo instrumental collection called "The River Runs", again working with producer Don McCollister. In Ronnda’s words, "I choose to work with Don because I feel he is the only one who can capture the emotion of an acoustic piece. He brings the listener to a deep understanding of what I am saying through my music." Selections from her album were chosen and can be heard on the air as part of the “Echoes” program on Public Radio International.

Ronnda is preparing to go back into the studio with Don McCollister - this time with a trio of supporting musicians collectively known as “The String Poets”. This group consists of Carol Statella on viola, Sherry Iles on bass guitar and Jordan Marshall on percussion. The as-yet untitled release will be the first to demonstrate Ronnda’s folk-classical crossover as she incorporates an orchestral sound into her instrumental compositions.

Ronnda credits her musical influences (including Nancy Wilson, Caroline Aiken and Emily Saliers) for shaping her as both a guitar player and as a person. "I wouldn't be the player I am today if it were not for these strong and amazing women. I hope to bring my own voice to the generations of women who follow."

  • An AMAZING musical journey...
    author: larry

    Ronnda tells such a beautiful story with her awesome guitar work and vocals. 'Autumn Leaves' starts and just takes you away. Brilliant and inspiring...Great work Ronnda and your talented group of musicians!!

  • Amazing, Ronnda paints musical pictures
    author: Anita Andersen

    I think this CD is Amazing. Each song tells a story. The insert sets up the songs wonderfully. It's sometimes hard to believe all that music is coming from one guitar. I've heard these songs done live and the CD is an HONEST portrayal of Ronnda's talent. A professional true life mix.

  • A true 'Strings to Wings Experience'!
    author: Dustin LaDale

    This CD is so beautiful as is Ronnda! From the start of 'Autumn Leaves' I drifted to a warm safe place... I swam all the rivers.. where all the rivers run... I have long awaited for your special talent & soul you have finally revealed on this wonderful CD. Now spread your wings and fly... fly... fly! You & your guitar has always been a symbolic truth! You're inspiration to us all... Musically Yours, -Dustin LaDale 2006

  • Ethereal, captivating, melodic!
    author: Sherry Iles

    Although I have had the honor of participating in this project as the bassist, my feelings about this album are not biased. Ronnda presented each of these beautiful pieces to me over a period of time before the actual recordings took place, and I was touched deeply by each and every song. Producing basslines was effortless as each song seemed to prompt an undeniable movement. Each song emits ethereal imagery and awareness like that of no other artist I've had the pleasure of working with. (Do NOT take a roadtrip or spend a single meditative moment without this CD!) This music will take you on a spiritual journey all by itself with its captivating rhythms and lilting melodies. There are two songs with vocals: "The Hurt" with Moe Loughran (What can I say here? Listen to this!!!) and "Someday" with Trish Dupeire whose lyrics and strong melody define a process of growth and spiritual kindredness that everyone can identify with. This timeless work will be a treasure for many years to come.

  • This is great art!

    Very impressive acoustic work here. This cd is a must have for anyone who appreciates the acoustic guitar as a melodic instrument!!

  • Stunningly Beautiful, Relaxing
    author: Rob Astor

    Lush guitarscapes are the order of the day. Beautiful acoustic melodies abound. This is a solid project, well worth picking up!

  • Great musical arrangements with acoustic guitars.
    author: Vicki Blankenship - Indiegrrl

    Great project Ronnda. I am torn between two tracks as my favorites. Track number 9 "Living" is a great musical work and track number 13 "The Hurt" with touching lyrics with an awesome performance by a great singer, Moe Loughran. I will keep this one in my vehicle to play as I travel around to keep me meditated and focused.

  • What a great CD!
    author: Madalyn Sklar of GoGirlsMusic.com

    This CD is worth listening to over and over. Yeah, it's that good! My favorite song, hands down, is "Rosemary's Dawn".
