Ronnie Earl
Lorne Entress, Drummer/Producer
Ronnie Earl was born Ronald Horvath in Queens, New York, on March 10, 1953. After picking up his first guitar twenty years later, he went on to stretch the boundaries of electric blues guitar playing higher, lifting hearts and souls a little higher as he did. Like a harmonic seventh note sliding its way into a piece of music before being felt, he would eventually emerge into the New England blues scene as a budding young guitarist.
In 1963, when he was ten years old, Ronnie�s parents signed him up for piano lessons, which he quickly abandoned, discovering that he disliked the discipline of practicing. He graduated from Forest Hills High School in New York in 1971. After high school, Ronnie attended C.W. Post College on Long Island for a year and a half studying American History. It was during these early college years that Ronnie first started playing the guitar. Eventually he transferred to Boston University where he would graduate in 1975 with a Bachelor�s Degree in Education & Special Education. Ronnie spent a short time teaching and working with children with special needs in the Newton school system, as well as the League School in Government Center. In 1973, Ronnie purchased a Martin acoustic guitar; however, he returned it the very next day for a Fender Stratocaster. He took a serious musical turn toward the blues after attending a Muddy Waters concert at the Jazz Workshop, a small club in Boston. By his third year in college Ronnie was seriously pursuing the guitar, now practicing hours at a time having rediscovered the discipline that would continue to serve him well throughout his life. Ronnie has said that musically it was his time to �catch up with the world.�

Tom Hazeltine, Road Manager and contact person for bookings and all other inquiries. Tom Hazeltine is the contact person for all bookings and inquiries, as well as the road manager for Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters and has been a fan since the early "Roomful of Blues" days. Ronnie jokes that he hired Tom as the Road Manager, because "we don't go out on the road." Tom feels he has the better part of the deal, because now when Ronnie plays somewhere, they ask him to come along! Tom keeps an eagle eye on Ronnie and the band during the flow of a concert and both he and his wife, Suwanna, show up early and stay late doing whatever needs to be done. Tom also has a passion for photography and a great eye for a good picture, as he shot the cover of Ronnie Earl and Friends, released in 2001  Tom Hazeltine |
