About the artist
Ron Stewart is fast becoming a bluegrass legend in his own right, is probably the
most respected multi-instrumentalist in bluegrass today.
He grew up playing with his family band in Paoli, Indiana, and had already been
invited to play fiddle on a live album with his legendary hero, Lester Flatt, by the
time he was nine years old. He is the five-string banjo player extraordinaire for
the Dan Tyminski Band, and also performs on lead guitar and fiddle onstage.
His gutsy and soulful fiddle playing has earned him the Indiana State Fiddle
Championship twice, and the IBMA Fiddle Player of the Year in 2000, as well. He
is from Paoli, Indiana and maintains a blistering schedule as a recording session
player in addition to his steady gig with The Dan Tyminski Band.
His solo CD on Rounder, Time Stands Still , features Ron's earthy vocals and
fiery instrumental drive on banjo, fiddle, and guitar (as well as mandolin and
bass on one of his original cuts, 'Riding the Saranac'.) Ron hand picked some
of his most talented favorites to appear as guest artists on the project, and wrote
half the material himself.
