WINNEMUCCA -Colin Ross is set to return to The Martin on Saturday, Sept. 29 at 7 p.m.
As a composer and multi-intrumentalist, he performs a large and ever-shifting repertoire of original music, jazz standards and blues classics. Colin can play a whole pile of different instruments and it will be interesting to see which ones he chooses for this solo show.
Colin Ross is a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist with deep American roots. His shows feature a tremendous variety of original music combined with a hip blend of vintage styles. He mixes virtuosic free-style piano technique with rollicking blues and boogie, liquid 12-string guitar, greasy delta slide and wry lyrics to make his own brand of Americana.
Ross was born in Little Rock Arkansas and grew up on the banks of the Mississippi in the little town of Elsah in southern Illinois. He started playing piano at the age of 5 and began collecting recordings, instruments, music and art books. His interest in Americana began with a fascination with Woody Guthrie and developed with immersion in bluegrass folk and roots music. His influences are as varied as Bach and the Grateful Dead.
Ross has recorded and released five CDs on his own label, Oharaross Productions, which run the gamut from new age piano music to five-piece swing to boogie-woogie and roots piano music.
Tickets are $10 and are available at Global Coffee, Nature's Corner, and the
Martin Hotel; you can also buy them online from The Martin's website
