Ron Pope

Ron Pope plays Glasgow on 19 November 2026 at Stereo, 22 Renfield Lane. The New Jersey–born, Georgia–raised songwriter first came to wider attention with A Drop in the Ocean and has since traced his own path between folk-rock, americana and acoustic pop. Now based in Nashville and releasing on his own Brooklyn Basement Records, he writes in clear lines: stories up front, melody close behind.

On stage, Pope favors unadorned arrangements, a warm, grainy vocal and guitar work that leans roots without losing a melodic pull. The set reaches across his catalogue — from Daylight and Atlanta to Calling Off The Dogs, Ron Pope and the Nighthawks, Work, Bone Structure and Inside Voices — reliant on songwriting rather than ornament. The pace shifts from hushed, fingerpicked pieces to steadier mid-tempo grooves, linking early ballads with newer material and keeping the focus on voice, lyrics and feel.

An intimate night with a modern American songwriter, carried by craft and a catalog built on simple, durable songs.
