*Two more great recordings are now up on Band Camp for you to download. These are unreleased and brand new. They are soulful and heartfelt gospel songs that are played with a bluesman's sensitivity and grit. You've never heard them before anywhere, but with a little luck maybe these songs from the Gospel Project will go viral. Share 'em. Get the word out. Please. And thank you! Check the other Robert Ross songs that have been uploaded on Band Camp!!* *AIN’T GONNA LET NOBODY TURN ME ROUND* Accord ...Continue Reading

I have uploaded 2 more songs on Band Camp that are ready for you to download. These songs are from the Gospel Project we are doing. Spiruals or gospel can be a very powerful and soulful music, and I am proud of the work we did to record these wonderful pieces. Great work by everybody involved including Ha Heon Jin on rhythm guitar, Mike Boone on bass, Jim Holton on piano, Rafael Alvarez & Larry Hambrecht producers, and Glen Barratt engineer.  Robert Ross just released AVE MARIA https://ro ...Continue Reading

Sunday I am honored to be performing "virtually" at the Greenwich Village Folk Festival. They tell me I performed at the very first live GVFF way back in 1987 (I think it was '87). I do remember it, that festival always had nice crowds. Since the CoVid pandemic they've been doing it virtually and streaming it live as well as archiving it on their website.  There are 8 performers for the virtual GVFF and each one will play 3 songs for about 15 minutes. I will do 2 originals, one called "H ...Continue Reading

I am excited to play again at The Dolphin Bar & Shrimp House in Jensen Beach on Saturday. It is a beautiful and historic restaurant with a spectacular view of the Indian River, and a delicious menu. Oh and pretty darn good music as well.  I've been doing a recording project with my new friend Elliot Zimmerman who plays piano, organ, bass, and sings. He's also an entertainment lawyer. It looks like it'll be a compilation cd featuring some of the best blues artists in the area. We've already rec ...Continue Reading

The "Blues Over Easy Jam" at Kelly Brothers is always a great time and last Wednesday was no exception. A lot of high quality players there, some young guns, and some let's call 'em "mature muskets". The gun reference is merely a metaphor, as you no doubt know, but I do like a player who comes fully "loaded" and "aims" at the right target at the right time. Doctor Mike Ancona has been leading the jam with drummer Stephen Jeremia for years and lays down a solid fou ...Continue Reading

I have some fun gigs this weekend. On Saturday I'll be at Stringers in the Stuart/Jensen Beach area, and if you've never been there you should check it out. The Indian River is just a couple of blocks away along with a beautiful bridge and boats. Stringers has good food too.  On Sunday I will be at Plantation Walk in the Fort Lauderdale/Plantation area. The outdoor stage is near The Rise which is a tall condo building with a mall all around it that is loaded with delicious places to eat. The ...Continue Reading

Blues Bobby from the South Florida Blues Society is a good pal of everybody in the blues scene around here, and that includes me. He calls me up to let me know when I screw up my schedule in these mass emails. And I screwed up again about this weekend. I am playing on Saturday, NOT Friday at The Dolphin Bar & Shrimp House in Jensen Beach. Bobby, you have always had my back and I appreciate it. Thanks! I had a great time on Wednesday at the Blues Over Easy Jam at Kelly Brothers with Mike Ancona ...Continue Reading

I got a last minute text from Doctor Mike Ancona. They need a sub for Wednesday's Blues Over Easy Jam at Kelly's.  I'll be at Dolphin Bar in Jensen Beach on Saturday. Great menu, great view of the India River, and a beautiful and historic restaurant. The Gardens Branch Library gig was pretty much incredible today. Great audience, fun time!! Libraries are the bomb.  Here's the schedule for the next few weeks.  LATE JULY 2024 SCHEDULE* *Blues Over Easy Jam w/Robert ...Continue Reading
