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.
The Ross Osteen Band is fully anchored by the distinct force of Andy
Bishop on bass. Andy is a multi-instrumentalist and owner/operator of
Giraffe Studio for many years. He is the perfect complement to this
power trio, and his contribution really heightens the music.
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.
