German progressive guitarist Yuval Ron will embark on his first ever Central European tour with his trio in June, performing in the Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia and Poland. His latest album, Somewhere in This Universe, Somebody Hits a Drum was released in 2019, so fingers crossed that some new music will finds its way into the shows.
German progressive guitarist Yuval Ron has released Rocket Science For Dummies, a fast-paced showcase for his six string skills and love for extensive virtual orchestration, creating a widescreen soundtrack for a blockbuster that has not been filmed yet. Simon Schröder on drums and Bryan Beller on bass (he only needs to team up with Guthrie Govan to have a complete Aristocrats bingo card).
German progressive guitarist Yuval Ron will perform his first ever show in Berlin with his trio on September 13. Next stop: a bunch of dates in the UK in November.
German progressive guitarist Yuval Ron will be playing shows with his trio in Germany, the Faroe Islands and the UK this year. Thanks to the support of the Goethe Institute, the rare opportunity to be part of the Vetrarjazz Festival became financially feasible.
German progressive guitarist Yuval Ron has added a couple of shows to his itinary. He will be playing with this trio, focusing on the tracks of his Somewhere in This Universe, Somebody Hits a Drum plus a couple of assorted gems from his back catalog.
German progressive guitarist Yuval Ron had the unenviable task to open the proceedings on the third day of the Progdreams Festival in Zoetermeer, The Netherlands on April 9 at 3PM. Playing most of his latest album Somewhere In This Universe, Somebody Hits a Drum he managed to engage the audience and join him on his self-styled trip to outer space.
Ron is one of those rare players who can pull off two-handed tapping, using a string muter of his own design, and he can switch between the styles Tommy Iommi and Joe Satriani for a display of prog metal that is truly uplifting, with WiFi in Emerald City as the highlight of the set. The quieter passages allowed him to delve into his bag of tricks and effects to create an intimacy that went down well with the audience. Bass player Victor Nissim loosened up a bit during the set - he stared intently at his charts at first - and drummer Yatziv Caspi is a powerhouse who gave his own twist to the material, not trying to emulate Marco Minnemann who played on the record.
German progressive guitarist Yuval Ron has posted the full Live Against The Virus show. Recorded @ Berliner Rockhaus Saal on May 28th, 2021 with Niklas Lukassen (bass) and Simon Schröder (drums) he played tracks from his latest album Somewhere in This Universe, Somebody Hits a Drum. They dressed for the occasion, donning NASA astronauts inspired clothing. Luckily that did not get in the way of their inspired performance. Thye offer an hour of classic Seventies prog fusion with a healthy dose of metal that is uplifting (no pun intended). The brand new Covid Gets To Mars has all the trappings of scary Sci-Fi soundtrack.
Tracks:Live Against The Virus can be watched via Ron's Muso Mind profile.
