Ronny Tibbs

Put on a Ronny Tibbs track and you’ll suddenly feel as though your life’s transformed into a movie and you’ve just found the perfect soundtrack for your next transportive montage. Ronny Tibbs’ music provides an effervescent escapism, an effortlessly propulsive and richly evocative road trip in your mind into a realm where genres blur, nostalgia surges, and eclecticism abounds. It also just rocks–melding the twangy indie vibes of his “Spaghetti Midwestern” style with elements of beach-pop and doo-wop, laced with shimmering guitars, soaring vocals and resplendent pedal steel.

His forthcoming album, Shorthand, sets the tone for his career, characterized by heartfelt lyrics and rich, layered instrumentation.

Tibbs’ music videos for Shorthand, which he writes and directs, weave into a long-form concept record reminiscent of The Who's "Tommy," pushing the boundaries of music and visual storytelling.

Of course, you’d expect a songwriter who also happens to be a filmmaker to have a knack for crafting that subtly-epic and sensory-sparking kind of ballad that feels perfect for any daydreamer’s opening or closing credits sequence.

Ronny Tibbs's artistry is a powerful blend of Midwestern authenticity and innovative creativity, making him a distinctive voice in today's music scene. -Jeff Milo (Journalist and WDET Radio host)
