NEWS UPDATE
Nashville, TN .... Reported my Roger Daley
It looks as though Branson, Mo. is in the works for Ronnie Lee Twist who is negotiating
with investors to stage the new show written by Ronnie Lee Twist called "Memphis to
Nashville". The show centers around some of the rockabilly greats of the 50's when it was
all taking hold. Some of the artists include: Johny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Wanda
Jackson, Gene Vincent, Elvis, and Carl Perkins. The show take you from old rock and
leaves you with a bit of country music that was influenced by the early sounds. Ronnie
has been working on this in conjunction with a new studio project called Memphis to
Nashville. The Title song has not yet been written, but is being worked on.
We are proud the announce that the Rockabilly Hall of Fame, in Burns, TN. has endorsed the
show, and will be a part of the promotion and merchandising. RHOF merchandise will be
available at the show, with information about the hall of fame and how to become a
supporting member. Ronnie Lee has had ties to the Hall for several years, and says he
can't think of any better union than with Bob Timmers and the Rockabilly Hall of Fame.

Ronnie Lee Twist
A lot of people nowadays say that all country artists sound the same. As a matter of fact, a lot of
them do.
When Ronnie Lee was a kid, you could turn on the radio and you knew who you were listening to. You
could
tell without a doubt that it was Johnny Cash or Elvis, Conway and Loretta, Merle Haggard or Johnny
Paycheck.
While all the kids at Redwood High in Marin Country California were listening to Led Zepplin, Rod
Stewart
and Pink Floyd, Ronnie was blasting out of the parking lot in his '69 Fury with Jerry Lee Lewis at
full volume.
The kids called him "Country". That's what he is. A singer since the age of 5, he has never stopped,
even for
a second, loving the music. "The first song I ever performed was Detroit City by Bobby Bare. I would
sing it
to strangers on the street if I could get them to listen". He grew up in Marin County, performing
all over
the San Francisco Bay Area.
Born in Frankfurt, Germany, Ronnie has been in the U.S. since he was less than a year old. His
mother,
with whom he still shares the stage sometimes is international entertainer Lucina Tison. Ronnie has
always
been involved in the industry in one form or another. When he was not singing or playing with a
plethora
of other major country artists, he was out doing the thing he calls his "second passion": Radio.
Ronnie
spent many years as a morning show host throughout the west, in New Mexico; San Antonio, Texas;
Wyoming,
as well as Nashville, Tennessee. "I always wanted to stay in the industry, even when I was not
directly
involved with performing." Ronnie has also, like many other country artists found work in other
fields. "I
loved Guest Ranch Management. I was part of a great Dude Ranch in Wyoming. I met Nikki there one day
when she came up looking for a brochure on the place. Next thing I knew, we were married."
In October of 2004, Ronnie and Nikki moved back to Nashville to be closer to the music industry and
also closer to Nikki's
portrait agency, Potriat Brokers of America in Alabama. They are also business owners, selling
Garden Statues
and Nikki is opening the MILO art gallery and gift shop. Ronnie is still recording, with two albums
planned in
the near future. He says it's nice to not have to be on the road, and running my own business is
great. He plans to do
a lot more producing and writing, helping other artists put projects together. Any new artist can e
mail me at the
e mail link here on the page.
Still involved with NLT records, on the heels of the American Cowboy project, plans for the NLT
release of the
yet untitled album are full steam.
