Zak Lee Rite (aka Jon Roniger) is truly a unique slice of American songwriting, blending New Orleans style jazz and blues with folk story telling. Touring internationally since 2003, his record "Charmed Life" saw regular spins on BBC, BBC Whales and BBC Scotland and Nationally broadcast Radio Amsterdam. His 2010 release “Someone Else” and the 2007 release “Charmed Life” have placements on HGTV, Platinum Babies and the theme song for a UK based company Bedford for Beds. Roniger’s song “Redneck Riviera” has been licensed for a full-length feature film called "Island of Fantasy" due for a Spring 2012 release. Warner Brothers artist Kayt Jones cut Roniger’s song “Last First Kiss” co-written with long time Nashville song-smith Chris Gantry. His latest project, “NOLA Rolls” showcases the timeless quality of a seasoned songwriter and the unique musical style that only a New Orleans native could produce.
Recently selected for The 2011 and 2012 French Quarter Festival and The 2011 and 2012 Key West Songwriters Festival, Roniger has played such renowned venues as Nashville's Blue Bird Cafe, Atlanta's Eddie's Attic, San Francisco's Great American Music Hall, Boulder Colorado’s Boulder Theatre and New Orleans' House of Blues.
