I first heard ‘Be Here Now’ in 2010 and fell in love with the song as I drove down long windy country roads with the views of open fields and mountains off in the distance. A song can really speak to you in moments such as that. Somehow one day I heard a remix in this song so took this very organic guitar and string song and snapped it to a 4/4 grid and began to play with how I could bring this song to the dance floor and still tell the story that Ray LaMontagne is telling us without losing it’s soul in the process. I hope I succeeded and I hope you can find something in this mix that moves you too.

Songs from the edge of somewhere. Bluesy, soulful rock with roots in folk and blues, shaped by years of traveling and chasing sound.

My debut album Strange Part of the Country earned ★★★★ from Q Magazine, a Blues Matters cover feature, and reached #3 on the U.S. Alternative Radio Chart, with airplay on BBC Radio 2, WWOZ New Orleans, and KROQ Los Angeles. Peter Green (Fleetwood Mac), Marc Ribot, and Danny Thompson have all been part of the journey.

I’m now finishing a new album with Marc Ribot, Tchad Blake, and Danny Thompson — music that digs deep, raw and real.

Brassy Washington DC-based multicultural outfit, Black Masala, is part of the new generation of go-anywhere brass bands. You can hear this sound all over the world now – from New Orleans (Hot 8) to Belgrade (Boban & Marko Markovic), Paris (Fanfarai) to Cotonou (Gangbe Brass Band), and right here on the east coast area as well (Red Baraat & No BS! Brass).

Music producer, musician and mastering engineer with a long career in the electronic music world and several side projects and monikers spanning from Downtempo, Alternative Rock, Progressive House and Experimental Electronic.

Born in 1958, and raised in Vancouver British Columbia, the early 60s were the beginning of HoserPoser's formative years. 

The Beatles, Sly & The Family Stone and The Rolling Stones were his first musical influences and the beat goes on from there through the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s etc...to present.

HoserPoser always wanted to be a DJ but things and responsibilities got in the way for a while. He's a Late starter with a vast mental and tangible repertoire of great musical gems and various vibes. 

After many years of discovery and practice, HoserPoser considers himself an accomplished Throwback, Eclectic DJ who loves to rework and revive old music. He is also a purveyor of House, Funk, Jazz, R&B, Soul, NuDisco, D&B, Jungle, Balearic and Classic Rock. 

Being a resident of Terrace BC, Ron has performed at the local Valhallafest music festival several times and has had the honor of warming up the stage for headliners like Fort Knox Five and Slynk.

Ron owes many thanks to friend Peter Shalvoy of "Shalvoy Music" for his ongoing help, advice and mentorship. https://soundcloud.com/shalvoymusic

**GOAL**: To have Shalvoy play out one of Hoser's tracks in Vegas, on the Bus.

HoserPoser can be seen annually at the Mr. Mikes Steakhouse Beach Blast Volleyball event held during Riverboat Days in Terrace BC every August long weekend. Beach Blast at Mr. Mikes started in the year 2000.  www.riverboatdays.ca
