New Orleans’ own Father Ron
Father Ron Clingenpeel, an Episcopal priest, has been a musician all his life, first starting in a Rock band in the 60s, and has played Funk, Zydeco, Cajun, Blues, and Folk music. Playing Top 40 hits in the 60s, led him to playing Folk, mostly influenced by the Folk Rock of the Byrds, Lovin’ Spoonful and others.
Over the years he has learned guitar, harmonica and ukulele. He has sung in bands, choirs, and was a member of Guild of Precentors in seminary.
In addition to playing, he has composed liturgical as well as secular music. The album, On My Way Home, is a compilation of his compositions. The music spans spiritual, Western, Folk and Blues. He has also won three Bronze Medals from the Global Music Awards- for “On My Way Home” and two for “Don’t Let the Fire Die”.
