Danny Ross and the Stimulus Package, Live! Sat 2/21 7:30PM

Hi all,

Top of the morning to ye. First, a quick rant: I know I'm supposed to be elated by this warm tropical weather in the dead of winter, but the heat in my building doesn't magically turn off when god decides to be melting polar ice caps. And the sound of my broken fan in February keeps me up later than MIA's due date (Any one else see this at the Grammys?).

Now that I've got you in the mood... we've got our first Saturday show of the year at one of our favorite venues, Rockwood Music Hall. This is a big gig for us so please swing by if you can. It's early enough for your pre-game, and affordable enough for your recession (free). So to all my jobless banker friends, this Bud's for you...

Danny Ross and Band at Rockwood Music Hall
Saturday February 21, 7:30PM
@ Rockwood Music Hall, 196 Allen St. at Houston - LES Manhattan
FREE!

And I'll promise to stop complaining about silly things like "global warming" if you make it out to the show (Or as much as a New York Jew is physically capable of). Post your bitter gripe of the day on the comment section of this posting at http://dannyrossmusic.blogspot.com/

Thanks and talk soon!

Let's bring in this new era with a party of live music and comedy -if there ever was an occasion to celebrate...I'll be coming up straight from the ceremony in DC, so I'm hustling for ya!

Inauguration Party! Tues Night 10pm

Hey all,

Since we've had a concert for the primaries, the conventions and the general election, we thought we'd finish out the series with a blowout concert Tuesday night to cap off a crazy year in politics, music and eight years of a hilarious (if depressing) presidency. I'll be personally running back from the inauguration itself in Washington to be a part of this big event.

"The Lower East Side Inauguration Ball" at the Bowery Poetry Club is hosted by yours truly and Living Liberally, a national network of progressive social groups, and will feature our band, Reuben Chess of local indie-pop heroes Quintus and several Living Liberally comedians.

This kind of night happens once in a generation so let's celebrate before we actually have to think about how much trouble we're in....See ya Tuesday!

"Piano Songwriters Month with Danny Ross" - Every Monday 8-11pm in January!

Hey all,

Happy 2009 my scholarly friends. Hope you've been reveling in the holiday spirit like I have here in Florida...Going to lunch with Grandma at the Boca Pointe Country Club, getting uneven sunburns on my face, trying to grow an ironic mustache that's too light to be visible. You know, the usual holiday doings.

In any case, we've got a big thing happening this month: a residency! We'll be playing every Monday in January at Googie's Lounge for a series called "Piano Songwriters Month with Danny Ross!" This is an opportunity for me to share the stage once a week with a number of talented songwriters on piano. So please come out this Monday and help to discover a few rock stars...

Monday January 5
@ Googie's Lounge (Upstairs at The Living Room), 154 Ludlow at Stanton Sts
8:00pm Mikey Wax
9:00pm Danny Ross
10:00pm Misty Boyce

Thanks, and don't tell me what you got for Christmas this year if it's not a Super Soaker or Koosh ball. Remember those?

Danny Ross Named Secretary of Hip @ Pianos, Saturday December 13 8:30PM

Hey all,

Now that we've sufficiently stuffed our turkey, given our wholehearted thanks, and literally killed people over low low prices, we can really start to think about what matters most: the next series of holidays and time off.

Speaking of special occasions, on Friday I'll be mastering One Way, a new album 6 months in the making. For context, this was basically my college thesis a few years back. Check the original 2006 review here: http://cornellsun.com/node/17467 and you can see how we made the recordings at http://dannyrossmusic.blogspot.com/2008/07/one-way-blog.html

And another big night will be on Saturday December 13 where we knock down Pianos with our brash rock and roll happy fun times featuring the full band and horns. That's...

Danny Ross and Band with Horns!
Saturday December 13, 8:30PM
@ Pianos, 158 Ludlow at Stanton (F Train to 2nd Ave)
Facebook Event Page: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=36770094083#/event.php?eid=36770094083

Hope to see ya then, unless of course you're appointed to the Obama Administration. In which case, at least return my phone calls Hillary Clinton. I miss you.
