Ron Fountenberry is one of those insanely multi-talented human beings. Once his creative mind starts working, something magical happens. Armed with pen and paper wonderful drawings appear. Give him a video camera and a feast for the eyes will erupt. Hand him a musical instrument and wonderful melodies will flow. Ron once was the front man of a band called The Incredible Moses Leroy. Their second and and final album was titled The Incredible Moses Leroy Becomes the SoftLightes. That was 2003. Fast-forward a few years. Ron has found new musical partners, Kristian Dunn, Tim Fogerty and Jeff Hibshman, and together they have become the SoftLightes. Their debut album, Say No To Being Cool - Say Yes To Being Happy, is the technicolored culmination of Ron's musical evolution. SoftLightes blend joyful pop experiments with a dizzying array of instruments, sounds and textures. Say No To Being Cool - Say Yes To Being Happy is a celebration of child-like wonder, play and beauty.![]()
