Don Ross, is a
Canadian fingerstyle guitarist noted for the emotion and intensity of his
playing as well as his use of extended technique.His music borrows from blues,
jazz, folk and classical music creating a style that he describes as
"heavy wood". Ross is the only person to twice win the U.S. National
Fingerstyle Guitar Championship (1988 and 1996). His album Huron Street reached
the top ten on the Billboard new age chart.
In the liner notes to Ross' 2003 album Robot Monster, Bruce Cockburn writes, "Nobody does what Don Ross does with an acoustic guitar. He takes the corners so fast you think he's going to roll, but he never loses control."
Don has toured
regularly since 1989, across Canada, the USA, a dozen European countries, Japan,
Taiwan, China, Australia, Russia and India. He has played with symphony
orchestras in Canada and Germany, and collaborated live and on recording with
Andy McKee, Canadian singer/guitarist Brooke Miller, & Toronto bassist
Jordan O’Connor. He also composes scores for television, radio and film, and
does production and recording engineering for a variety of other musicians. In
addition to acoustic guitar, Don
also plays electric guitar, slide dobro and lapsteel guitar, voice, piano,
keyboards, bass guitar and drums.
Don grew up in
Montreal, lived for many years in the Toronto area, spent the last several
years in Halifax, and now is based in both Montreal and Berlin.
