CLAY ROSS
9th Annual Reunion Concert
December 22, 2009
8PM & 10PM
Imagine the sound of a Brazilian Carnaval in the
Appalachian Mountains. A sound where exotic percussion instruments
rumble beneath blues drenched vocals, telecaster twangs, and folksy
fiddle tunes. Now, imagine these sounds in the hands of some of NYC’s
finest young improvisers as they light up club and festival stages world
wide.
On his Ropeadope debut, Matuto, Clay Ross offers us a
peak into his diverse and dynamic musical world. Composer,
singer-songwriter, and producer, this South Carolina native and has become
an in demand guitarist on the NYC jazz, world, and roots music scenes.
In the last four years, Ross has submerged himself in Brazilian music as
a Member of Cyro Baptista's world renowned percussion ensemble "Beat the
Donkey." He has completed four international tours as a U.S. Jazz
Ambassador and currently performs at Bluegrass Festivals across North
America with rising folk star April Verch.
Through the unorthodox blend of Brazilian Percussion and American
Bluegrass, Ross has created an organic, animated sound all his own.
