Singer/songwriter Chris Ross performs outdoors at the Wilhelm Reich Museum Observatory Building on Monday, August 1, at 7PM (weather permitting) – Blankets/chairs suggested!

Ross has spent a decade tucked away on the coast of Maine developing his voice as a writer. Inside the arsenal of tracks he’s penned, one finds dangerous, hard-hitting reflections; stories of love, life and longing. Tinted with an appetite for self-destruction, his writing style is smooth and eloquent while remaining sincere to genuine grit of experience. When his sonorous vocals found affinity with a band, the evolution cultivated a multifaceted, visceral experience for listeners, an auditory landscape much like that of Maine itself: Humble yet dramatic, severe yet sweet, cold and resonant with a nearby fire throwing heat.

2014 Songwriter of the Year – The New England Music Awards

“The world Ross describes in his songs is one that’s probably very familiar to the devoted fan base he’s developed over the years; hard-drinking, hard-working, honest, wry, and, hidden behind a tough exterior, a well of intelligence and emotional depth.” – Bangor Daily News  

“A voice made for acoustic guitar, more dirt road than gravel, never sliding off to twang, and sharply honest” -Bluebird Reviews

“…pure Americana. Fans of Zac Brown Band, Jason Isbell, John Hiatt, and storytellers of similar ilk, will find this album and act most appealing.” -Bluebird Reviews
