Rony Trio is a jägerfolk band, like folk music with a shot of Jägerbomb! Or Redbull. It’s a pop/folk blend that draws from all genres from jazz and blues to electro, funk and world music.

Rony founded the band in 2013, shortly after moving to London to study at the London Centre for Contemporary Music. That’s where he met the groove-infused bassist Oliver Mitchell and drummer Jim MacRae. Rony originally trained as an anesthetist and intensive care doctor and still works in London hospitals.
