With his new single Gonna Get To You, Wistful Sound Gazers front man Ron Christopher’s track record for coalescing music trends 
        persists, challenging those bent on consigning the classically trained artist to a specific genre. Revealing a bravado that attains 
        rock's good times vibe and country's heart n soul, sparking comparisons to Darius Rucker and Rob Thomas, two top artists from  
        those genres, Christopher qualifies comparisons with his performance which offers one more unique style and voice.

        The follow up to 2010's contrastingly orchestral Christmas release, Lite Up The Tree, the singer/songwriter gritty assurance 
        on Gonna Get To You, evidence of his goal to remain a step ahead of his comfort zone and continue developing as a musician.

        “Making music is what God has intended for me all along. I’ve known this to be my truth since I was five years old. Understanding 
         this has freed me to grow as an artist,” says Ron. “I think we find our voice and develop our gifts through experience, yours, mine 
         and the people around us. As a songwriter, growing into using my voice, lyrics and melody to tell a story about what we live through, 
         the ups and downs, the happy and the frowns, is something I expect and hope I'll always be learning. Life changes, and I don’t want 
         to lose the foresight it takes to recognize when I need to regroup and change with it. Inspiration flows from this philosophy into 
         everything I aim to achieve, including my music.”
         
         Change has always been the root of Wistful Sound Gazers' origin. Ron’s eclectic and early on, misinterpreted moniker (is it jazz, 
         world or new age?), was born out of the singer's desire to branch away from his feelings of limitation and the permanence of 
         hopelessness, that his mark as a musician would remain a session and background vocalist in Philadelphia. “I enjoy singing and 
         sessions, it's who I am the most now. But I knew I had other things on my mind that went beyond simply performing someone 
         else’s songs. I dabbled with songwriting and orchestrating when I was in high school, but really didn't start composing songs until 
         after my teens. I was always interested in how a song, a record, came to be... how they were arranged, and shaped. I knew there 
         was a desire to do this, but I didn't know how to get there.” 

         It wasn't until after some years away from the music arena altogether, and upon returning to what he enjoyed to arrange, perform 
         and produce a demo for a friend and songwriter living in Atlanta that Ron began honing his gifts. With his tracks drawing the attention 
         of some of Atlanta's influential music and entertainment heavyweights, when opportunity presented itself, Ron instead went on to 
         decline an invitation and contract to continue work with an Atlanta based agency. 
         
         “I knew it was crazy at the time, and now I can't even remember who these people were that I turned down... it just didn't feel like 
         it was the way to go. I realized if I was going to keep putting energy into this, I wanted it to be more representative of whom I was as 
         an artist. Wistful Sound Gazers was born out of how I felt at that time, that there might be something more. Looking ahead but unsure, 
         yearning and wondering at the same time. It still sticks for me today.” 

         It was after his decision that as Ron describes, songs began forming “in my mind the week I turned down that contract. I knew how 
         these songs came to me was more than just my having a really good week. It was divine inspiration, I felt it in my heart and soul, and 
         it was overwhelming, and I accepted it.” The result was 1999's self released Bliss. 
         
         After a year in limited release with little notice, Bliss garnered critical attention and major label level distribution in 2000 after the 
         lead track Push became a number one hit on MP3.com, four years before the rise of iTunes and MySpace, and years before Facebook 
         and YouTube were even an forethought. Though not present on commercial airwaves, Wistful Sound Gazers songs were digitized, 
         streamed and downloaded across the internet and business corporate offices and retailers around the world. “It's a pivotal moment 
         when people across the globe identify with what you're saying, and for me it validated my direction. ”
         
         Even with MP3.com's demise in 2004 and a shift in laws regulating how artists, companies, and listeners acquire music on the internet, 
         Wistful Sound Gazers maintained a presence, with 2008’s returning single Crimson & Clover on Ron's City Avenue Records, becoming 
         a marketable follow up to Bliss. Enjoying resurgence ever since, Ron will tell you he's yet to fully realize his potential, and doesn’t take 
         this lightly, understanding that anything of true worth comes with time and hard work. 
         
         "There's still a ways to go, and the best part about that is opportunity being ever present, with the rest of what's possible all up to
         how things stack up when they come my way."
         
         Ron continues producing in the Philadelphia region, and plans are in the works for a new Wistful Sound Gazers release in fall of 2011.
