November, damn. where has the year gone? 2026 has been interesting to say the least. It hasn't been a great year in my personal life. No need to discuss any of that here, other than maybe, just maybe, this time I finally learned something about myself. Musically, the goods out number the bads. I'll start with the overwhelmingly obvious bad. I was hoping to release my new record, recorded in a real studio in Nashville (not my home studio), by September 2026. (Deep Breath and Big hesitation…) The best way to put it, is that there have been delays and unfortunate circumstances clouding the whole post recording process of the Nashville Record. And that's all I have to say about it. There is a reason that I play by myself, without a band, or even with anyone to help me. Within the next 2 weeks, I hope to have the recordings in my hands, so I can load them into my home studio, and finish the production process, myself. I dare say, that I plan on releasing a couple of singles at a time, until the whole record is ready for release, starting January of 2027. Moving on (exhale…). As far as LIVE shows and writing new material, this has been a good year for me as a musician. After a personal “collapse” in 2012, I honestly was just going through the motions. Playing when and what I had to, to string this along, hoping that I could get myself together mentally enough to feel the music again. This year was different, and it actually started in 2025. All I can really say is that I want to play as much as I can. I want to write and record more songs. I am actually having fun and enjoying this again. And it feels great. Thank you to the old friends and fans that didn't give up on me. Thank you to all the new friends and fans I've made the last year or two. Share my songs, videos and social media with your friends. Let's try to make another mark in Indie Music. UnIncorporated is a staple, but it's not the end of Ronnie Hymes Music. Let's show them how we do it.
Other news, please find me on TikTok #RonnieHymesMusic. I'm not great at social media, and finally started a TikTok page. Actually, I could use as much help as you're willing to give here. Share all my social media, please. It would really help me out in more than you probably realize.
Follow and Share my Facebook Music Page. I restarted my page about a year ago and lost half of my followers somehow. I always have a large crowd wherever I play. I feel like I’m being muted by the Facebook authority, but who knows. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
