Platinum recording independent artist, Ron Pope, made a name for himself in the early days of music streaming with the viral success of his song, �A Drop in the Ocean� - which has now been streamed over 1 billion times going platinum in the US and double platinum in Sweden. Once a die-hard New Yorker, Pope ultimately landed in Nashville where his songwriting is a natural fit for the Americana, roots, and country communities. His last full album, Bone Structure (March 2020), received praise from Rolling Stone, Billboard, CMT, Relix, The Tennessean, and more.�
Ron pope and his band put on the greatest show ever!! Thy play their instruments with a passion! They are sweet, funny, and amazing! I cannot get over it! I wish Saturday night never ended! Please come back to LA soon!
He was amazing and had tons of energy, would definitely recommend
No one is more adorable or rocks harder than Ron Pope! One of the most talented and genuine singer-song writers in the business, not to mention that he is also a completely independent artist.
This was a great show with very talented musicians. It was an amazing evening.
Show was great! Lasted three and a half hours with two intermissions. It was the first performance for this tour and a special show since he is from Atlanta area. He played some new songs which are faster paced with more instruments and percussion overall. He also performed some of his older hits: "Drop in the Ocean," "Fireflies," "You're the Reason I Come Home," etc.
Truett opened and will have a bright future ahead of him. Ron...well he just takes you everywhere in his show. At the meet and greet, he is warm, personable, and funny. Hearing him play acoustic puts you in awe. At the show, he will touch your soul, have you dancing, and singing at the top of your lungs. I'd watch this show every night.
I absolutely loved the show. Ron came out and introduced the openers and while they weren't Ron Pope they were interesting. Then Ron came out and he just kept going. He sang all the new songs and lots of the old. He was incredibly personable and joked with the audience. It was so awesome to see him live and he wasn't distant at all he talked and acted like we were a thousand friends. My now fiancée also proposed during his setlist so I may be a little biased haha.
Old familiar favorites were combined with several new songs from their just released album. Hard to categorize this band as it goes from rock to folk to country. But this talented group of musicians can handle it all and make it their own. Just go.
I'm not even sure which part of this night was the best. Glad I purchased the meet and greet tickets. I brought along some pictures I took of him back in 2012...and when I gave them to him he told me that my work was really good. ^_^ Continuing on....VON GREY and FRANCES CONE are being added to my list of favorite artist. Then, the man of the hour, Ron Pope began his set. His set included old song, new song, and a special acoustic song, due to a broken guitar. He asked everyone to be quite and played "perfect for me". It connected the audience and artist in ways that only a live show can do. Can not wait for the next time Ron Pope is on tour.
Ron is such a terrific artist and he was wonderful live. So much energy and humor even for a very small crowd. I would definitely go see him again!
The venue was totally wrong for this concert. It was far too large with no seating. The room felt really empty and the music is not the type that really requires a lot of dancing space. That being said Ron Pope was great and Von Grey was a great opening act. It seemed that the lead singer of Francis Cone was high.
Had a great time at this dude's show! U want to see him live...
This was my second time seeing him in concert- Ron is absolutely AMAZING! His voice and his stage presence make my heart flutter.
I really can't believe that this guy isn't famous. Amazing music, cool venue.
Ron Pope was amazing! I love the soul in his voice. He interacted with the crowd and gave us just what we would expect in this small venue. I would have paid more for a VIP experience. I loved everything he did. I just wish my favorite song "Reason to Hope" was part of the set list. Can not wait for the next show
Just best show ever! It was something ill never forget!
The venue - Great - intimate (capacity 300), with bar and limited wall seating. Everyone there was able to get at least 15 feet from the stage - most were even closer. Probably only 100 or so in attendance. Opener - Zach Berkman, co-writer of A Drop in the Ocean and former The District band mate of Ron Pope's opened with an acoustic set of five songs. He sounded great and interacted with the crowd well. Main act - The set was comprised of a good balance of his new songs from Calling Off the Dogs and older beloved hits. Most of the new stuff was played first, which made it a little bit of a slow start. He was vibrant, and 100% enthusiastic in his music, as was the band (the lead guitarist had a great solo in there that rocked it). Ron talked with the crowd really well and it felt like a bunch of old friends hanging out. His voice was fantastic...seriously - even better than anything you hear in his recordings. He played the guitar or keyboard almost the entire concert. Dislikes - None relatable to the act. There were just a few things about the event that were bothersome. First, there were a lot of sports games going on in the city that night, and some were televised by the venue. There were a few pockets of people really into the games that created some distractions. Second, this was NOT a 21 and over event, despite being held in a bar....there were A LOT of underage girls there. They all got there early and ran straight to the stage the second they got in...basically there were 50 15 year old girls hogging the best spots in the house #they waited there for like 2.5 hours even before the main act got on stage). They were well behaved...but it was a little annoying. All in all...RON POPE WAS AWESOME! I'm so glad I got to see him!!!!
I came to this show expecting to wait around until Ron pope's set- but Alexis opened strong and truly blew me away with her voice. It was a pleasant surprise. The crowd was good and Ron and Alexis seemed to genuinely care about their fans and that is always appreciated. Pope played all four of my favorite of his songs (Fireflies, in my bones, the reason I come home and A drop in the ocean) it was a memorable experience and I will definitely be at his next show. I also purchased Alexis's CD for 5 bucks and that was well worth it, I wish her the best of luck in her endeavors.
Absolutely an incredible show. The opening acts were great and Ron had a great time so therefore, we had a great time!
Over the years I've probably been to several dozen shows of various kinds at the Masquerade, and this was by far the oddest mix of performers I've ever seen there. The opening act (Alexis Keegan) was the most bland, uncharismatic singer I've ever seen live. She was completely unoriginal and seemed almost manic in her need to be loved by the crowd. The middle act (I can't even remember their name) was a group of perfectly satisfactory musicians, but I couldn't understand a word of what they were singing and the feeling that I got was that they were used to playing for friends and family and not the public. Ron Pope put on a really good performance, and it would've been enjoyable if not for the group of drunk young women directly behind me and my fiancé. The entire time Ron Pope was on stage these women were SCREAMING (not singing by anyone's definition) along with return song. While this is not the fault of the venue or the performer, it was a small venue and everyone else saw and heard how these women overpowered what was coming from the stage. In previous concerts that I've been to with similarly annoying people the artist on stage has called them out on their behavior and asked them to let everyone else enjoy the show too. Ron Pope only encouraged them and made them get louder.
