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. Peace, Love and Merry Christmas! ˜Fred Ross & The Fred Ross Project˜

A note from Sunday’s show
Sunday night at the Annenberg Center for the arts in Philadelphia Pee Wee Ellis and Maceo Parker, along with this amazing band were on fire. Beautiful African rhythms and vocals makes this a show that needs to be seen by everyone. The Philly crowd was Receptive to the sounds, chanting and partying the whole evening. Stupid fun.
