Strokeland Records just launched their new website.  I am proud to say that I have appeared on several Strokeland and Strokeland related tracks.  Great music as this website with band from all over the US and the World.  You can find them at www.strokeland.com.

You can hear me on the title track of “Bumped Up To The First Class” here 

Check Strokeland out when you get a chance.

Here is the entire article from Tom’s site:

Mr. Soul, in the house
Posted on January 2, 2016
Soul is perhaps the most misunderstood word in the lexicon of music. A lot of people want it, very few ever get it. And if you have to say someone’s got soul – well, they probably don’t. I’ve written about Fred Ross before. Those of us who know him are blessed. And those of us who get the opportunity to work with him are doubly so. The man exudes that timeless quality referred to as soulfulness, and he does so with an easygoing manner that belies a fierce desire to sing nothing but the truth. I’d like to think his offering on a recent song of mine was a prime example.Just Another Sad Song

Message from a client

cropped-Untitled11.pngJust received an email from the person who booked the wedding The Fred Ross Project performed at earlier this month in San Mateo (September 5th). Names have been removed to protect the innocent (you know who you are anyway), and we removed a few lines that were remarks made directly to the booking agent.

Dear XXXXX,

Well you should know that Fred stole the show as we requested!!! And, the band too..as you promised!!!.

The things that make a wedding fun…open bar and a Great Band..? Maybe that is the wrong order…great band, limited speeches keeping great band from playing, great band, beautiful outdoor venue, great band!!!

You did a grand job for our team. How lucky the hotel recommended you…And, let me just say…we all fell in love with Fred and the band…I knew he could do Prince. VERY COOL.

FRED DID SUCH A SMART THING when he played Happy… I told the bride party over…last song. She said no, I want 2 more songs! He played 2 more of his own selection…!!!

He knew the princess bride didn’t know what time it was. He ALSO knew the hotel rules…very smart plan for this bride…and our venue…!!!

Funny story…the bride requested no line dances and no dancing through the party as you saw…on her belated form to you.

Fred complied and did his part!

SHE looked at me and Said NO..LINE DANCING! WITH a small smile she gave it up for Fred and the frat boys!!!..
