Louie was a fixture in the front row of concerts by Kacey Musgraves, Jason Isbell, and Margo Price
“Ron’s main thing was he was always so devastated if he missed a show,” says Josephine Bisco, a fellow New York-area Americana fan who attended dozens of shows with Louie over the years. “When I heard that he passed, I thought, ‘That’s what would’ve upset him the most: He’s going to miss all the shows.’”
Around 1995, Ron met his future wife Janine, a fellow avid concertgoer. In May of that year, the couple went to see the Allman Brothers, Janine’s favorite band, at Radio City Music Hall. It would be the first of several hundred concerts the couple would see together over the next 25 years. A few years later, they gave birth to their son Jackson, loosely named after one of Janine’s favorites, Jackson Browne.
Over the past decade, Ron could be found in the front row of those clubs several nights a week. His flowing, salt-and-pepper hair can even be seen on the album cover to 2016’s“Ron would go to two, sometimes three shows a night,” Janine says.
“We showed up figuring we’d just be background music,” says Michaela Anne. “But Ron sat everyone down and said, ‘This is an artist I really care about, and I hope you guys like her music.’ This was a room full of people who weren’t my biggest fans, but they loved Ron so deeply that they just paid rapt attention. The second a song would stop, they stood up and clapped. The attention and love they gave us, just as an extension of Ron, was really incredible.
