Ron Ramsay is a versatile performer and creative force—singer, pianist, organist, musical director, and coach—known for expressive storytelling across the American Songbook, Broadway, jazz, pop, sacred music, and new works.
A Berkshire native, Ron trained in classical voice and piano at the Manhattan School of Music, then made New York City his artistic home, where his focus shifted to musical theatre and cabaret. His critically acclaimed performances have sold out venues including the Algonquin, Feinstein’s, and Lincoln Center’s Rose Room. The New York Post has praised his work as “always a sublime Songbook.”
Ron has enjoyed a 13-year collaboration with his singing partner Samantha Talora. In 2025, their solo and duo cabaret performances—Friends in Harmony—were presented at Don't Tell Mama to enthusiastic and praised reviews, celebrating their musical chemistry, humor, and shared storytelling.
That same year, Ron’s solo show earned critical acclaim as an “Inspirational Tour de Force.” He also launched Berkshire Music Salon, a curated series of historically inspired, site-specific musical salons presented at cultural landmarks throughout the Berkshires, and formed The Jolly Ranchers, a lively jazz group celebrating swing, standards, and American popular song.
In addition to performing, Ron is an Estill EFP (Estill Figure Proficiency) Practitioner, trained in the science-based vocal method of Estill Voice Training, and is known for helping singers develop healthy, efficient, and expressive technique across styles.
Ron’s work has taken him across the U.S. and internationally—from London and Paris to Italy, Greece, and the French West Indies. He has collaborated with musical directors Billy Goldenberg and Dick Gallagher and appeared in pre-Broadway workshops and recordings, including Dance With Me and the West End production of Moses! with members of the London Symphony Orchestra.
Stage highlights include roles in The Fantasticks, West Side Story, A Chorus Line, and You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown. Today, Ron continues to perform, create, and coach—building immersive musical experiences that blend history, heart, and song.
