Heart. Soul. Refreshing.
Ron Artis II is a Soul artist and multi-instrumentalist from Hawai’i, performing all original music and keeping it positive. Ron’s songs and lyrics are laced with intention, deep conviction, story, and a heart that has truly been there. Currently touring with THE TRUTH, a band made up of friends and family interweaving original songs and instrumental virtuosity with references to the golden era of funk, soul, and R&B, this performance is filled with heart, soul, and feel-good music for all in attendance.
Surrounded by artists and musicians, including an “Arstis Family Band”, Ron was learning his instruments, perfecting songwriting all while hanging at the beach or painting. Full band, trio or solo, Ron has performed and collaborated with Mick Fleetwood (Fleetwood Mac), Jack Johnson, Jake Shimabukuro, Booker T Jones, Eric Krasno (Soulive, Lettuce), and G Love among others.
