Ross is available for almost any kind of performance that you can imagine: festivals, pubs, schools, churches, libraries, colleges, folk clubs, house concerts, anniversaries, weddings, family reunions, business promotions and conferences. In addition to performing solo, Ross has a number of musicians that he performs with on a regular basis that add significantly to the range of his programs including fiddle, piano, flute, bagpipe and accordion. Either solo or with one of these groups Ross can provide Irish, German, Scottish, English, Swedish, and American music and dance. Ross also does a program with his brother, Barton Sutter, incorporating poetry, stories, songs and music into a presentation that addresses themes such as heritage, Minnesota, nature, love, death, and reconciliation. |
