Subarashii Live on Sale!

It was a wonderful night. On October 23, Ron celebrated the release of his 5th CD, Subarashii Live, at Toronto's Revival Music Club.

On hand were Ron's CD colleagues Richard Underhill, Sasha Boychouk, Mike Downes and Ted Warren. As a special treat, a second bassist, an old friend and collaborator Drew Birston joined the band (giving a new meaning to double  bass!) The band was smokin'.  Despite stiff competition from four other concerts elsewhere that night, the release was The Toronto Star's Critic's Pick  for the night. The full house audience called the band back with a standing O for an encore at the end of the evening.

Subarashii [pronounced soo-ba-ra-shee - Japanese for great!]  Live is for sale in HMV and other major retail outlets across the country, and on iTunes. You can also sample and buy the CD from Internet super-retailer CdBaby.com.

With the holiday season coming up, we hope you'll consider giving copies of Subarashii Live as gifts.

Enjoy! Subarashii!!

A Night at Massey Hall

Ron performs rarely as a sideman these days. However, when he was invited by Québécois singer and composer Bernard Lachance to join his 18 -piece orchestra at the legendary Massey Hall, Ron could not resist.

Bernard is a dynamic and gifted musician whose music evokes memories of David Foster and Josh Groben.He is also brilliantly determined. Bernard is selling tickets one by one to passers-by on Yonge Street in Toronto. Wearing a t-shirt with the Massey Hall seating plan on it, he crosses out each seat as its sold!

The concert marks Ron's Massey Hall début. It takes place at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday November 3. Tickets are $34.50, and are available at www.roythompsonhall.com, by emailing MasseyHall.Nov3rd@hotmail.com, or by phoning 426-872-4255..

Formidable.
