Ross Osteen Band- Biography
With a voice that summons the guttural howls of John Fogerty, and guitar
work that ranges from the front porch to outer space, Ross Osteen joins
the powerful blues/rock scene of the deep south. The songwriter was born
in western North Carolina placed in the midst of an eclectic music scene
ranging from bluegrass to rock, and beyond. Eventually all of his
influences aligned to form his bluesy sound, and he hit the road. Ross
has played blues shows with notables such as Jimmy Thackery, and Kim
Wilson of the Fabulous Thunderbirds. He also shared the stage with
legend Buddy Guy. There’s no doubt his style of musical soul searching
will allure listeners.
Let’s not forget the driving pulse of the band, Patrick Gaynor. Growing
up in New York, he was constantly pulled in by the hypnotic southern
sound of the Allman Brothers. A sound which lures listeners in on songs
like “Fools Gold” off of their album titled “Glenhead Station”. Patrick
eventually moved south to find a band that could satisfy his blues
cravings, and after a few tries, he meets a like minded musician named
Jim Vint.
Pulling an array of dynamic bass lines from influential players like,
Jack Bruce of Cream, Jim holds the breadth of the bands sound together
solidly. Though they never met prior to the band, Jim also hails from
New York. Jim also jammed with a number of musicians in western North
Carolina before finally meeting Ross in one of the sessions. The hunger
for a blues band between the three eventually reached a fever pitch, and
they started a boogie that is still running years later.
Since the Ross Osteen Band started in 2014, they have played a number of
shows from Georgia to New York to Chicago, with a very memorable
appearance with Buddy Guy on one of their songs titled “Hold Back”. All
the while, growing a local fan base in western North Carolina. They
released their self titled album in 2015, followed by their second
release “Glenhead Station” in 2016. The band just released their latest
single “Mannish Boy” from the upcoming album “Williwaw”. Ross Osteen
Band continues to hone their sound into an energetic blend of blues,
roots, and southern rock.
