Pancho's Story

Hello everyone!  

I am Ramon Villa (Pancho). A Marine Corps veteran with over 40 years of performing experience. I was born and raised in Las Cruces, New Mexico, later moved to Phoenix, Arizona, and entered into the United States Marine Corps (USMC) as a Marine Corps Musician. During my time in the USMC, I also had the privilege of serving forward deployed in support of the Global War on Terrorism and as a Marine Corps Drill Instructor. Pancho comes from a call sign given to me during my forward deployments. I am honored to continue using this name as it is given to me by some great Marine Corps leaders and it was also my father’s call sign during his time in Vietnam. Finally, I am classic enthusiast and supporter of military and veteran programs.   

My past performing experience includes venues throughout the continental US and overseas. Some of the most notable performances include appearances on popular games shows, Gene Simmons Family Jewels, MLB and NFL games, and Super Bowl celebrations in San Diego. I am happy to continue my passion of entertaining by performing country music favorites and other popular hits of yesterday and today throughout the Hampton Road area, Northern Virginia, and North Carolina. However, the opportunities to expand beyond this is absolutely possible. Whether at a local restaurant, farmers market, brewery, winery, festival, or anywhere in between, I would be happy to share the music with you and your guests. Feel free to contact me anytime.
