As a solo guitar instrumentalist, Ronnda Cadle is known for the melodic hooks she coaxes from her guitar. She has shared the stage with many other well-known musicians including Sarah Bettens, Al Petteway, Patty Larkin, and 2003 American Music Award Winner, Moe Loughran. Ronnda’s style fuses heartfelt emotional content with masterful guitar work. She perfected her craft while listening to guitarists whom she considers her greatest mentors - Nancy Wilson of Heart, Caroline Aiken, and Emily Saliers of Indigo Girls. Ronnda says, “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 musicians to follow.” Cadle’s previous release ‘After’ with the String Poets, has been featured on the Public Radio International program ‘Echoes’ playlist, while having several songs selected for the PBS television program and online site Roadtrip Nation.
Universally recognized as the preeminent pioneer in the new age music movement, and the founder of Windham Hill Records, Will Ackerman’s career spans more than nearly four decades of remarkable vision, single-minded determination, and “a thorough love of the mystery of making music”. While at the helm of Windham Hill, Ackerman produced artists such as, George Winston, Michael Hedges, Liz Story, and Alex deGrassi. Ackerman has been profiled in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, Newsweek, Esquire, Rolling Stone and People magazines. He has received numerous Platinum and Gold Record awards, and his album ‘RETURNING’ received a GRAMMY in 2005.
