Ronny Elliott

Ronny Elliott was a Tampa-based singer-songwriter who carved out a gritty, storytelling niche in the Americana and roots rock scenes. Known for his wry humor, vivid narratives, and unpolished charm, he blended country, folk, and rock into a sound that felt like late-night conversations at a dive bar. Active since the 1960s, Elliott released albums like *Valentine Roadkill* and *My Nerves Are Bad Tonight*, often self-producing work that celebrated outsiders and underdogs. His lyrics tackled everything from personal regrets to political frustration, delivered with a weathered voice that carried decades of road-tested authenticity.

A DIY lifer, Elliott remained fiercely independent, releasing music on his own labels and touring relentlessly. Projects like *Ronny Elliott & the Nationals* showcased his collaborative spirit, while later releases (including 2023’s *I’ve Been Meaning to Write*) proved his creativity never waned. A beloved figure in underground circles, he passed away in 2023, leaving behind a catalog as raw and real as the stories he loved to tell.
