Entertaining Matters in Music & Entertainment

058: Ronni LeTekro

Ronni LeTekro from TNT

June 09, 2018

Sound Matters episode #058 features Tom’s conversation with perhaps one of the most underrated guitarists in rock music over the past 30+ years (a fucking travesty because he’s one of the most talented there is…). Ronni LeTekro is a founding member of Norway’s multi-platinum band, TNT, as well as a prolific solo artist. Ronni is as funny and honest, as he is direct and surprising. Ronni was an absolute pleasure to speak with, and he was sure to throw a few curve balls into this conversation for good measure… Enjoy!
