Don Ross was born November 19, 1960 in Montreal, Canada. He is one of the top acoustic guitarists in North America. He was born into a musical family. By age 10, Don was already playing in alternate tunings and exploring finger-style technique, a right hand discipline similar to classical guitar playing.
Preferring to follow his musical intuition in writing original material, Don’s music displays a high degree of emotion and intensity. His self-taught musical journey results in an unclassifiable musical style that borrows from jazz, folk, rock and classical music.
