Ron Spears joins David Parmley
Recently departed from Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, Ron Spears has become the newest member of David Parmley and Continental Divide.
Ron replaces the outgoing Randy Graham on mandolin and tenor vocals. Ron is also a very fine song writer, and I’m sure a tune or two of his will find its way into the band’s repertoire as well.
David Parmley shared his excitement at having Ron join the band.
We are looking forward to playing with Ron and are certain he will be an exciting new addition to our performance.
From what I understand, Spears has already started with Continental Divide. Check out their tour schedule to see them near you.
