...Hester sounds vocally like he spent time in the Lou Reed school of crooning, but he is a good songwriter with a nice collection of acoustic-based rock tunes, most notably the powerful "STUPID STORIES." - Village Voice

...It's just that in an era overly concerned with outhipping the hip, it's sometimes pleasant to see or hear a simple idea executed well. Ron Hester's music is simple and effective, and he makes no attempt to make apologies or excuses for it. There's no need to: IN BETWEEN won't leave you feeling conflicted... just satisfied. - Splendid

Bio
Ron Hester is a singer-songwriter in Brooklyn, NY with Tennessee roots and Ohio history. His new CD, "Breathing," collects five songs written while Ron was living in the East Village (NYC). The lyrics and musical inspiration came from the elements at hand: late nights at 7B, garbage on E. 6th, reflections on 9/11, crazy actors & spoiled models, Bruce the cat, unemployment, a worn copy of "A Farewell to Arms," and quarreling lovers outside of his window.
