MTV // Opening for Paula Cole? I Don't Wanna Wait...Tues 8pm @ City Winery

Hey folks,

I must be having a Lilith Fair moment because not only did I chill with Lisa Loeb yesterday, but I'm opening for Dawson's Creek phenom Paula Cole Tuesday night with a solo set at the beautiful City Winery. Do Do Dooo Do Do Do. Seriously though, where did all the cowboys actually go? I'll ask backstage.

Danny Ross Opening for Paula Cole at City Winery
Tuesday March 22, 8pm Sharp
@ City Winery, 155 Varick St at Vandam St - Soho NYC
1 to Houston St // ACE to Spring St
Tickets Here

Thanks gang and here's some new press!
  • Our song "Forgive Me Love" was featured on MTV's 16 and Pregnant (about 19:00) and Teen Mom, I guess that's my demographic, what the hell? Along with other tunes on the History Channel's American Pickers and E! News Live.
  • "Ross inherits a clear Beatles influence that runs through the tracks accompanied by touches of alt-country artists such as Ryan Adams and Wilco as well as ‘60s soul that coalesce into dynamic, lush piano-pop... One Way, with its eclectic nature, may just be his White Album, a pleasing presentation of a wide range of fine songwriting." -- Deli Magazine NYC Feature "Danny Ross: Pop Chameleon"
  • "It was clear that the crowd got into the music quickly and stayed with him from the opening number to the last song. Ross was interested in creating his own sound… He stayed true to his word, putting on quite a show and enjoying the hell out of it. Those who were there got to see what a delight it is to watch Ross, a hungry and talented artist, play his heart out on stage." Tufts Daily "Danny Ross Interview and Boston Concert Review"

Saturday 11pm - Headlining Mercury Lounge for Live Album Recording [in 3D]


Hey folks,

I'm gonna be perfectly honest with you here. I'm a little sleepy. You're right, I celebrated National Pancake Week with a little too much gusto this year, and it didn't help that I was simultaneously engineering the Carmelo Anthony trade. But what I'm truly exhausted from is preparing the most stimulating night of sight and sound since Rick Moranis wowed America with "Suddenly Seymour."

That's right, we're recording a live album Saturday night at NYC's legendary Mercury Lounge with the nine-piece band and horns! Look for Steven Segal on bass. And I'm asking the audience to record the music video on your cell phones and Flip Cams. Hear yourself "Woooo" in real time audio...

Danny Ross and the Saturday Night Band Live Album Recording @ Mercury Lounge!
Saturday February 26, 11pm Sharp// Followed by high school bandmates Mercury Landing~
@ Mercury Lounge, 217 Houston St at Essex NYC
* This show will likely sell out, please get Advanced Tickets Here.

We want this record to be on par with 1986's ABBA Live. So, as I've been telling friends, I hate to ask for the help but it's a huge show (and album) for me and it would mean the world if you could help pack the place by bringing a few close BFFs. You can click "Select Guests to Invite" on the left or 'Share' on top of our Shmancy FB Event Page. Thanks again guys, see you at the spot.

PS - And thanks Boston for packing the Middle East last week, snarky videos to come. Because of you we'll be headlining a Saturday night in the very near future. DC and Philly, you're next. MUHAHAHA

Do You uhh Have Friends in uhh Boston? // Live Album Show Sat Feb 26 at Mercury Lounge!


Hey folks,

How's stuff and things? First off, we're playing our Boston debut this Sunday night 8pm at the famous Middle East. To prepare, I'm dusting off my copy of With Honors and priceless footage of Boston Terriers. I should also hide my "Patriots and Red Sox are Inferior Teams" coffee mug. Yikes.

Do you have a few close friends in beantown? It's our first out-of-town show ever at a major venue and I only know a handful of folks out there. I hate to ask for your help and want to thank you in advance, but would you mind quickly forwarding this email or inviting them via our FB Event Page?

And secondly, we're capping off the winter with our BIGGEST NYC SHOW EVER. In fact, it's so big we're recording it for a live album to be released this summer, and I want you to bring your mobile devices and Flip Cams to shoot the video for us. The full band and horns, new songs, all the hits and the Rockettes? This show will sell out so please get Advanced Tickets Here.

Saturday February 26, 11pm Sharp

Thanks, and hit me back with a good opening line for the Boston crowd. Winner gets my hancock on a printer read-out of the Declaration of Independence (and a free shirt). All the best.

Saturday 8pm @ Rockwood Stage 2 // Duet with David Bowie


Hey folks,

What the hell. Why is everyone getting sick this time of year. And by everyone I mean me. I know what you're thinking: "But Danny, you're like Superman, or more like that nerdy jewish guy in the Green Hornet. You should be healthy as a clam." Now folks, I don't claim to know the immune systems of most shell fish - only Rocky Mountain Oysters (props midwesterners!). But I do know three things: 1) How to write three bitchin new songs for the Saturday Night Band and 2) How to put on a rock n roll show to make you drop out of law school and wish you never heard of tort reform. Just don't join the mob.

Thankfully I'm back to full health so we'll be back back in Cali Cali. See you for our debut gig at this beautiful new masterpiece venue the Rockwood folks put together. And what's that? The third thing I know? Karate. I have a white belt in karate.

PS - I know Rex is keeping his mouth shut for those reverent classy Steelers, but I have no such hesitation. Those yellow towels really are terrible, hardly absorb anything. Try Bounty, the quilted quicker picker-upper... Nailed em, go Jets!

2011 Heaven // Saturday Jan 22nd 8pm, Rockwood Stage 2


Hey folks,

Happy new year old friends and fellow foot-soldiers of the Ross Revolution. Since we last spoke in December, I played backgammon with Mike Bloomberg as Brooklyn was irrevocably destroyed by blizzard, directed a foot fetish video with Rex Ryan's wife, and wept with John Boehner as he took this oversized mallet. (Insert "Compensating much?" joke here)

Oh, and you scrappy mothers raised an army of 800 unique voters to name us Deli Magazine's Artist of the Month and be on their year-end list of top NYC bands. Thank you guys and dolls, you'll see below we'll need you even more in 2011 to achieve Pinky and The Brain-style world domination. In the meantime, our famous Saturday night Band opens the year with a huge debut gig at everyone's favorite new venue featuring world premiere songs. And it's free homie gee!

What will 2011 bring? To start, our first gigs in Boston (Save the Date! Middle East 2/13), Philly and DC, the SXSW Music Festival, a new album and more TV in the pike, and Producing/ Arranging for my favorite NYC artists. And if you like The Beatles (Hi, I'm Earth) and you like ukulele, come see me open for Ben Kweller and Nellie McKay @ Brooklyn Bowl this Saturday night 1/15 8pm. Here's a cut we made of "Baby's in Black" a few months back. Catch ya later, crocodile.

A Reasoned Case for Arriving Late at Your Holiday Party to See Saturday's Big Show

1. Show's at 9. You can probably still get there at 10:30, which is a pretty standard arrival time for a party in New York. They'll still have latkes, though applesauce is questionable.

2. This one''s gonna be really really good. This ain't no disco. 9 piece Rock n roll band and horn section. We only only do it once in a blue moon and playing brand new songs for you regulars. And we even rehearsed!

3. All thanks to you, we just won NYC Deli Magazine Artist of the Month. Check it: http://nyc.thedelimagazine.com/node/3754

4. Mercury Lounge Saturday Night Headline is always a very big deal. We don't want to go back to playing strip clubs in Jersey.

I was never on the Debate Team, but I have to admit that these points would destroy in the Contemporaneous category. Thanks again folks and Happy Holidays.

Saturday 9pm @ Mercury Lounge // Last Day of Deli Vote (And it's Tight!)




Hey folks,

How are you? Okay, here's the scoop. Last week I told you we were nominated for Deli Magazine's NYC Artist of the Month. You came forward with a record 600 votes, and made a certain someone feel very thankful for the holidays (Mainly this guy). However, with the vote ending at midnight tonight, I discovered our greatest competitor is a Danish Major Label pop star and has her Scandinavian cohorts fighting to the bloody death D2: Mighty Ducks style. If my name isn't Gordon Bombay, for one day only please...

Vote Danny Ross at home/ on your phone/ share on FB: http://nyc.thedelimagazine.com/snacks

And then to celebrate our impending gazillion point victory, the full band and horns will be headlining our biggest show yet, debuting brand new songs Saturday night 9pm at NYC's legendary Mercury Lounge. Nice and early too, so you can still hit your boss's Holiday Party and pretend to have a good time. Thanks again gang, shoot me an email when you vote and catch me up on the haps. And find all the details on our FB Event Page
