“Poetry and grace, with a touch of soulful Rock n’ Country”. This would best describe her unique contemporary style; the music that God has put in Ronni Ward’s heart. Ronni became a singer from her earliest memory. “I have never doubted that music was my calling. It’s only natural that it would also become my service to the Lord”.
Music was a way of life for Ronni, singing in the church choir (that her mom directed) and singing harmony with her older brother and sister at home. “I remember as a child, listening to my sister harmonize with my mom as my brother played the guitar. I would just drink it all in!”
And she has never stopped making music; from playing at her own high school prom to fronting her own band to recording in Nashville to becoming a published songwriter. She also traveled around the region with “Cowtown” the group that she co-founded with her husband, Ted Ward. Ronni’s desire is to “…bless people with my voice and my songs. I hope my music will help someone who’s going through a trial or encourage someone at just the right time. I want to share God’s love in a way that someone may know they’re important to Him”.
“Like the wind in your hair, is music to the soul”.
Ronni Ward
About the songs:
The 4 songs on this page are from my demo "Preview" that I recorded in 2004. I've been promising everyone a "real" Cd for a while now. I'm still working on writing and re-writing the material for the project. I want to make it the best I can... so thanks for your patience!
Hi Ronni stopping by to say love your music and invite you to a listen of my new minute long version of White Christmas.Thank you and the Best To you and yours always. tim
Hey Ronni. Thanks for stopping by. And thanks for your kind words regarding "tenderness." It's actually pretty old - about 7 years, I guess. I'm still writing, though not as much as I'd like. I'm really busy with the girls. What about you? I will definitely be there in October. Can't wait for it to hurry up and get here!
Thanks for the add. Now we can stay in touch with each other!

Thanks for the add, Ronni. It's nice to have a forum wherein we can maintain communication in the midst of our busy lives! I officially wanted to tell you and Ted how sorry I was to learn that your Dad passed on. I am really glad I got to meet him when I was at your house. What a sweet and gentle individual! I sent on your comment to Jeffry, and I'm sure he will appreciate it. Lately he and John and Heidi have joined me in performing, and it's been so fun. It would be an absolute hoot if all of us could get together sometime. We'll have to work on that!
Hi Ronni, Blessed by your music... thank you... May I share with you the Prayer Podcast series of 13 messages by Pastor A. T. Davidson (Australia) based on Dr Dick Eastman's book "No Easy Road". They are free and are a great blessing. Merryl/Bethelhouse
Ronni, Thank you so much for including me. It's been a long time. My wife and I speak of Cow Town often. There's an old VHS around here somewhere, and when I find it, I'll burn it to DVD if you like. Hope all is well with you and yours. Say "Howdy" to Ted for us. Thanks again for all the great music. Brion Leftwich
