Don’t trade in authenticity for approval is a mantra singer-songwriter Ron
Greene holds close to his heart. His journey in faith, and in music, has been about
boldly following that inner compass we all have, and getting closer to the truth. His
latest album, In Honor Of A Critic, is a celebration of the self—it’s poignant,
playful, and chock full of invigorating grooves.

“The title references that, in life, we sometimes try to please other people. The
songs on this album are about trying to be the real me—faults and all—this
album is the real Ron Greene,” confides the Coeur d’Alene, Idaho -based
singer-songwriter.

Greene’s distinct aesthetic encompasses radio-ready pop-rock hooks, elements
of warmly intimate folk, smoldering funk grooves, and emotive and soulful vocals.
He’s garnered favorable comparisons to Lenny Kravitz, Gary Clark, Jr., Bruno
Mars and John Mayer. Greene has issued two well-received studio solo albums
and one fiery live album. As an engaging solo performer, and fronting his ace solo
band GRE3NE, he’s performed nationally, from New York to the Pacific
Northwest. Live career highlights have been performing on the main stage at
Choochokam Music Festival, making six consecutive appearances at Spokane
Pigout In the Park, and sharing the stage with such diverse artists as Kings X,
Rusted Root, PM Dawn, and Paulo Nuttini.
