    The Ranch with Randie O'Neil ep 116 Ray Johnson

    Your story set to music with the best in Indie Americana music.  This week with Ray Johnson.   A singer/songwriter from St. Charles, IL. I have been writing songs and performing music for many many years and my catalog consists of nearly 100 songs. The most accurate way to describe my music is to summarize it as music and lyric writing influenced by the “jangly pop” sounds of the 60’s and lyric writing styles of the 70’s singer/songwriters. It is a wonderful blend of both. Although my influences are “retro” in their creation, my delivery and performances are competitive with today's current sound. My ability to blend each of these decades can be heard in each song leaving the audience captivated by each song’s meaning, rhythm and beat. As you listen to my songs, you will realize that I have the ability to write strong lyrics through solid storytelling. Using strong imagery, exceptional use of metaphors and similes, I am able to create music within numerous genres ranging from soft acoustic ballads/love songs to acoustic pop/rock folk pieces that are memorable, enjoyable and appealing. My vocals are above average and my musicianship is well developed through the use of exceptional melody lines, both vocally and instrumentally. Currently, as I continue to promote myself and my music as an artist, I am also writing songs with the goal of finding placements for my songs in TV & Film. In closing, I’d like to thank you for taking the time to read a bit about me and my music. I do hope you enjoy listening to my songs and viewing my videos. Please feel free to contact me anytime through any of the websites and social media accounts you have access to. Peace, Love & Respect, Ray Johnson

She began piano at age three, violin at nine, and started writing songs on guitar in high school. She studied violin at the University of Georgia in 2001 and went on to earn her doctorate in forensic clinical psychology in 2010. Through it all, music never took a back seat.

    The Ranch with Randie O'Neil Ep 112 Sticktight Atkins

    Born in the heart of Kentucky, Ernie "Sticktight" Akins has had an infatuation for music since he started walking. The name Sticktight came from Country Music Superstar, John Michael Montgomery. When visiting John at his farm, a two year old Ernie Akins was exploring in the woods and emerged covered in sticktights. John found it humorous and said, "Boy, we're going to have to start calling you, 'Sticktight'". Since then, "Sticktight" has stuck. ​ Sticktight grew up listening to radio and chart topping icons such as Waylon Jennings, Charlie Daniels, Montgomery Gentry, and well as legendary Blues, Classic & Southern Rock Bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, George Thorogood, Stevie Ray Vaughn, etc. When performing, you can hear these influences blended into one giving Sticktight a sound of his own. The Country singer-songwriter writes songs from his experiences growing up in South Central Kentucky, paying homage to his roots, stories from the road, and making the most out of life appreciating what you have.
