Mark Ross

g, US
Singer of World

American singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist. America's most famous unknown folksinger, described by Utah Phillips in the liner notes to their 1997 album "Loafer's Glory" thusly: It is no exaggeration to say that Mark Ross is the best tramp I know, the only one in my experience to survive a train wreck. Mark is the Official Troubadour of the Hobo Convention in Britt, Iowa, where I'm a Grand Duke myself. Now, you could count on the fingers of one hand those folk musicians making their living sharing the traditional repertoire. Mark is, to my way of thinking, the best. Song, Harmonica, guitar, banjo, mandolin, blues to bluegrass, Appalachia to the Labour movement, Mark has delved into and mastered an enormous amount of traditional American music which he performs with style, panache, and vast élan. He's simply the best, so latch on to him now. he ain't getting any younger.
