I’m back….Been away for a bit taking care of myself, so  here’s what’s been happening.  The Fred Ross Project @ The Starlight Room in the past month had the likes of our former Mayor (Da Mayor Mr. Willie Brown ) stop by to pay us a visit. FYI, my parents had a upholstery business for about 40 years or so, and Willie Brown was one my mom and dad’s clients. It was really good to see him. Over the past 15 years that I’ve been at the Starlight room, Willie  frequently stops by to hang out with us. Also, Brian Copeland From 7 live also dropped in. And then there was my good friend Mr. Dick Bright, whom I’ve worked with in the past and still do private parties and such and Mr.Buddy Love .  As for my band what can I say smoking as usual.

More to come shortly peace & lots of love ,
Fred Ross

This past Weekend at the Starlight Room was great.  Friday Ron Smith was on drums and vocals, what an amazing talent this young man is.

Saturday my boi Deszon was back in the chair tearing it up .  I feel so blessed to be around so many amazing musicians.

Preparing for the show with Tony Saunders this weekend Saturday the 21st at George’s, also on the bill is  Ray Obiedo and his band.  This should  be big fun I’m already fired up.  Holla back soon peace Fred Ross.

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.

It has been awhile since I have blogged, just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year.  A bit about this past week, New Year’s eve “The Fred Ross Project” performed at The Starlight Room to a sold out crowd.  The band was slamming and the audience responded by partying there #**’es off.  It was a great way to end 2011 and start 2012 for myself and the band.  Really looking forward to 2012.  Happy New Year to you all. <Fred Ross>
