Mike Ross - Jenny's Place (2016)

Uplifting intelligent americana with a bluesy bias & a soulful swing. Picture Marriott, Parsons and Stills down the local boozer and you'll get the idea.

Born and raised in the Great North but living these days down in the Southland with a steady mind and a thoroughbred plan, Mike writes soul wrenchin', riff bustin' songs that will make you want to share the tale of his life's journey and the lessons he's learned. This winding road leads from England to Europe before jumping the Atlantic to New York, detouring way down south to Memphis and New Orleans via Clarksdale Mississippi and Nashville Tennessee, soaking up every scent and sound along the way before fetching up on the shores of Sussex with a lifetime's worth of tales to share.

Mike takes listeners on a uniquely detailed and image packed history tour of the history of the music he loves to play, beginning in the Mississippi Delta at the beginning of the 20th century and finishing up right back in the present moment with his powerful emotive voice and intoxicating virtuosic guitar playing carrying you every inch of the way. To experience Mike playing solo or with the 4 piece band egging him on is to see why one reviewer declared him 'soaked in soul & burnt in blues'.
