Rondeau pulls his languid drawl across country ballads braced by banjo and steel, the caustic crack of his voice cut with an ornery attitude. With his debut, Bangs, Bullets and the Turtle Mountains, the North Dakota native's impressive songwriting drifts through easy honky-tonk anthems and supple, aching, country waltzes. -Austin Chronicle
Originally from North Dakota, Rondeau’s now made Austin his home, weaving his way through original country ballads that make the heart ache. His 2007 debut, Bangs, Bullets and the Turtle Mountains, mixes traditional country and bluegrass, with storytelling inspired by Rondeau’s upbringing in the Turtle Mountains...

Saw you at the Hole in the Wall Monday. You guys were great. I came with friends who were hanging out in the back, but I ended up staying in the front by myself to watch the rest of your set. Look forward to hearing you again soon.
Not yet. But I thought if I wanted to advertise my gigs, I'd have a bigger audience if I got Barack Obama to wear a tee shirt with my schedule on the front. This is a two step process. The first step--stop listing gigs on my myspace page--is going well. The second part, not so well.
It was great to meet you and hear your music at the Bear Saloon in Indian Alaska. I like your music it speaks to different characteristics of the soul! It was also cool to see someone from the same tribe doing what your doing. Thank you again for the CD! Take care and I hope you make to Alaska again some day. Sincerely, Nicole
