Update on Tony Saunders gig
January 30, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Ray Obiedo/Tony Saunders
A week ago Saturday (January 21st) I was at George’s in San Rafael with Tony Saunders and the Romancing The Bass Band . The show started with the Ray Obiedo Latin Jazz Band featuring some amazing players, extremely cool vibe from the audience. I saw some old friends I have not seen in years. I was asked by Ray and David K Mathews (from the Carlos Santana band) to sing “At Last” by Etta James do to her recent passing. Dave played with her for a number of years and I was more than happy to sing the song with him, and for Etta. What a talent and what a song . May she rest in peace. Tony Saunders and the band kick into gear and the crowd responded Rich Aguon on drums and vocals was amazing Nikita and Misa sang … Allen Leong and Bill Hampton did what they always do no matter whom they are performing with.. Tony of course slapping and making the crowd feel welcome. All in all a fun show. Be Blessed FRED Ross

This Past Weekend with The Fred Ross Project And Tower Of Power
January 9, 2012 By 5 Comments
The New Year has started off with a bang. I had a rare Friday night off, so I decided to go to Yoshi’s in Oakland to see Tower Of Power with my partner in crime Tony Lindsay (lead singer for Carlos Santana). Emilio Castillo and Larry Braggs invited Tony and I to sing What Is Hip? with the band. What fun we had when Tony, Larry, and I on stage at the same time, singing, dancing, and laughing…way cool, great way to spend the night off. After 44 years Tower Of Power is still smoking. Saturday night at the Starlight Room was off the chain, very enthusiastic crowd, and the band was slammin. Sunday, my wonderful wife Rebecca who love’s to cook, so we entertained dear friends from Las Vegas..yet another great time hanging with them in our home. So I’m already having a great week…please do the same. Blessings–Fred Ross.

A heads up for last weekend December 9th & 10th. A double header Darryl Anders and Agapa Soul Christmas party for Dunlop was a hit. D.C. Anders was funking the bass up as usual and Arron Green ...stupid Drummer. Loved singing with Indra Jones,and my boi Vince Lars was amazing, basically everyone in this band is very talented and a pleasure work with. After which I ran home rested and was off to my gig at Starlight Room I can't say enough about my band Allen, Deszon, Joe, Eric, tore it up Friday night. And the Starlight Room audience responded by partying hard to the fun we were having. Truly made me happy to be home. Saturday night ...Tasche, Nate Pitts Jr., Deszon, and Bill Hamptated were at the performance and energy from friday night carried over.... How blessed am I to perform with all these wonderful people.

Still Black Still Proud Tour Wrap Up
November 30, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Pee Wee And Maceo
Just returned a few days ago from the Still Black Still Proud tour. Pee Wee Ellis put together musicians from the West Coast, East Coast and Africa for this tour. For this tour, Pee Wee also added his old friend from the James Brown Band, Maceo Parker. What a musical journey, our last three stops Philadlephia, Minneapolis and Toronto were all fun, great crowds who were all into the music, we could feel the audiances reactions as they sent back a great message to us by their excitement. My personal favorites were Philly, where the fans were having way more fun then we were and Toronto where I sang “Try Me” for the first time, and at the end of the show we received a very long Standing Ovation. I’m looking forward to the next tour. Peace and Love to all….Fred Ross
