 A day in the life at an office job; spending a night away from a loved one; finding hope in overwhelming circumstances. These are the songs that come from Winnipeg singer/songwriter Marc Ross. Simple. Honest. Unpretentious. Ross has been writing music for as long as he can remember. Whether it was the household piano or church service every Sunday, music was a fundamental part of Marc's upbringing. Ross began his first public musical effort when he fronted Winnipeg based band Elyon between 2003-2007. This was the space in which he was able to develop as a live performer. In 2007 Marc collaborated with Winnipeg singer/songwriter Jodi King on a 6 track EP entitled 'music for The arborist'. Winnipeg's own Grammy nominated/Juno award winning producer Adrian Bradford worked the pre-production sessions as well as the production for the project. From here, Ross capitalized on his new connections and began to cut demos with Bradford. The short project titled '3 songs' was a product of these demos. Between 2008 and 2010 Ross performed in and around Winnipeg with acts such as Jodi King, folk star Matt Epp and Quinzy. Ross also joined Jodi King's band 'The Wolves' and performed as a special guest on several of her Canadian tours. In July of 2010 Ross joined forces again with producer Adrian Bradford and recorded what became "Blue Sky Behind". The EP has since been charting on Canadian college radio and has been well received on his Western Canadian tours. Musically, Marc draws inspiration from a diverse spectrum of influences including Paul McCarney, John Mayer, Sufjan Stevens and others. With a knack for melody and lyrics that are accessible, Marc Ross is one up-and-comer you won't want to miss.
