About

A Pirate Over 50… aka Al Ronek performs as a Solo  Acoustic Artist, singing “Fan Favorites” with a variety of Jimmy Buffett, Beatles, Eagles, Johnny Cash, Kenny Chesney and many more covers!

His 1st Pirate Dream came true when he was blessed with the opportunity to “du-et” with Nadirah Shakoor and entertain with other musicians from Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band at The Havana Daydreamin’ Parrothead Event in Davenport Iowa!  The Pirate has also joined with Iowa Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees, The Mississippi Band, for several events, including the opening act for Grand Funk Railroad at the 2011 Ragbrai in Grimes Iowa, as well as teamed up with other local musicians for two to six man shows.

His 2nd Pirate Dream came true in September 2021, when we sailed away to our own Margaritaville, the Suncoast of Florida! So…if you also want to live in Margaritaville (it’s just a state of mind, by the way), need some fun in your life, and learn how it’s best to spend your money on experiences, not things (his wife will tell you that if she’s there–along with a bunch more BS), then make your way to A Pirate Over 50 sighting! He is sure to put a smile on your face and will play many of your requests…as long as he can find it on his trusty iPad;)

Arrrgggghhhh! See you soon, The Pirate and his Wench (aka secretary).  Many Thanks to our friend, Cory Huntington, amazing photographer in the Atlanta GA metro, for his time and expertise building this website!  Follow him on FB!
