Ronnie D'Addario - Written By Ronnie D'Addario

13 track collection of songs written by the father of Brian & Michael D’Addario (The Lemon Twigs)  Performed by Ronnie, The Lemon Twigs, Todd Rundgren, Mac DeMarco, Sean Ono Lennon, Darian Sahanaja (The Wondermints, Brian Wilson), and Matt Jardine.

Growing up, I always loved my dad’s music. The recordings he made at that time were never properly released and only came out in limited quantities. We had the idea of re-recording some of his more recent songs with some guest artists to shed more light on his great back catalogue. Over the years we met a lot of the amazing musicians who lent their voices to this project and gave the songs new life. I’m happy with how the record turned out, and I hope it’ll turn more people onto his records and beautiful songwriting. ––Brian D’Addario (The Lemon Twigs)  The Lemon Twigs are not the phenomenon they are by accident. Brian & Michael D’Addarios’ father is a brilliant songwriter and musician in his own right. The Lemon Twigs pay tribute to him by producing and performing on a collection of their father’s music (with Ronnie involved every step of the way). 

Songs By Ronnie D’Addario features 13 tracks written by Ronnie with special guests and collaborators: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Todd Rundgren adds his layered lead and backing vocals to “I See The Patterns” and Canada’s Mac DeMarco leads “Love’s Won Me Over.” Sean Ono Lennon, Darian Sahanaja & Probyn Gregory (The Wondermints, The Beach Boys, Brian Wilson’s band), and Matt Jardine contribute vocals and accompaniment to others – all while The Lemon Twigs and Ronnie D’Addario hold down the performances on these stellar tracks.    While not a “classic tribute album,” Songs By Ronnie D’Addario is a testament to incredible songwriting and interpretation from artists from across the musical spectrum. Available on opaque Red Vinyl, this is an indie- and classic rock collaboration to behold.
