Great Experience!

Brian was SO GREAT! His set was exactly what we were looking for - our residents loved it and him! If you are looking for an acoustic guitarist that is amazing with the crowd, then Brian is your guy!

Beautiful playing for our wedding ceremony

Brian was able to play for our ceremony from a cover piece of a Thomas Rhett song. It came out beautiful and made our ceremony spectacular. 10/10 recommend his services!

He Saved my party!

Brian played at my parents 50th anniversary party and he honestly saved the event. About half the guests showed up so I was pretty worried. If it weren’t for the amazing entertainment, it would have been a bust. Everyone was so impressed and before long, it was the party I was hoping for. I gave Brian just a bit of detail on the type of music I wanted and he put together an amazing set list. I would recommend him to anyone and I can’t wait to call on him again. Cheers!

What to expect

My typical Bob Dylan tribute set includes a variety of songs from all eras. This can be flexible depending on the audience/event, and I happily take folks' requests for their favorite Dylan songs.

About

Brian Ross is a Florida and Rhode Island-based musician who has been playing rock, folk and bluegrass for over 30 years.
His repertoire includes classic rock, country, bluegrass, 80's-90's rock, and standards from the 30's - 60's.

BOB DYLAN TRIBUTE
Brian plays “Hour of Dylan” shows that cover songs from a range of Bob Dylan’s musical eras. They never feature quite the same set twice. The repertoire is continually growing, mostly based on audience requests.

OTHER PROJECTS
Brian writes songs about Star Wars, whiskey and other fitting topics, plays in an assortment of bands and formed the Wizard Rock band Draco & the Malfoys in 2005 with his brother, Brad. They sing songs about Harry Potter from Draco's perspective and play throughout the US and abroad.

Additional booking notes

I have a very simple setup - it is just myself, an acoustic guitar and a harmonica. I have a great sounding PA system that is ideal for most situations. I have played intimate events with no sound system at all to venues that held thousands and everything in between.
