The music of Jefferson Ross

can be cooked down to three terms:

Grooves, Grits and Great stories.


Jefferson Ross at Tybee Island Beach, Savannah Georgia

Based in Savannah, Georgia, where the Spanish moss hangs from ancient oaks like long torn veils, Jefferson employs his unique acoustic guitar style and southern, soulful voice to spin some of the finest story songs to come out of Deep Dixie in a long while. His song craft has been compared to Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt,Rodney Crowell and Jesse Winchester. His vocal style is fresh yet wizened by years on the road.

For over a quarter century, Ross honed his craft in Nashville both as staff songwriter for companies like Curb Records, a studio session player and as a road musician and background singer for folks like CCMA Entertainer Of Year, Terri Clark.

Jefferson Ross - Truro Nova Scotia

A commissioned painter, Jefferson has had several one man shows and his paintings hang in many homes throughout the South.

As a teenager, he played guitar in, infamous televangelist, Jimmy Swaggart’s band and once got to play Duane Allman’s Gibson Les Paul long before it was entered into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.

Returning home to The Peach State in 2010, Jefferson Ross now brings his solo show of original material to folks from Texas to Nova Scotia and tours Europe yearly.

An evening of Jefferson Ross is an evening of fantastic tunes and tales that the listener will not forget.
