We are thrilled to add one more concert to the fifth season of the Ross Farm Music Series - join us Saturday, September 21 as we say farewell to summer with The Whiskey Treaty Roadshow! The Whiskey Treaty Roadshow is a collaborative band that brings together five Massachusetts singer-songwriters in the vein of Americana, Rock and Roots-folk music. The quintet is built on a brotherhood - or the idea that what’s good on its own is better together. Instead of a traditional lineup, Whiskey Treaty is made up of five frontmen, each singing and playing his own songs and each with a distinct vibe and sound. This will be the last concert of the 2019 season. We are grateful for the support from the Band of Friends, business sponsors and […]

Ruffato is a sculptor from Aix-en-Provence and a graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design with recent works shown at the National Salon of Beaux Arts at the Carousel du Louvre in Paris.

We are excited to kick off our 2021 Ross Farm Music Series with Fantastic Cat! The band is made up of four singer-songwriters including two Ross Farm alum Anthony D’Amato and Brian Dunne, as well as Hollis Brown frontman Mike Montali and Don DiLego who came together for a unique project where they could each bring their own element – and songs – to the table. The project was not a significant shift for each of the songwriters, but allowed a space for each to explore the music outside of solo performances. D’Amato remarked in an American Songwriter article, “Everyone brings their songwriting chops to the table, of course, and I think that’s the foundation of this entire project. We’re all fans of each other’s writing, but on top of that, Don’s a great engineer and producer, Brian’s a killer guitar player, Mike’s a phenomenal singer – and I bring snacks.” DiLego added “The veil of personal artistic pressure was lifted a bit from each of our own individual projects.

Ross Farm favorite Brooks Hubbard makes his return to Basking Ridge with a very special two-set gig. Brooks played virtual concerts nearly every Thursday night during the pandemic in his “Spread Love” livestream promoted as “A music show focused on good vibes.” Brooks has all the good vibes and he’s bringing them to the Ross Farm this summer! He’ll play a set of his awesome original music and follow that up with a set of cover songs sure to rock the historic estate! Born in Enfield, NH and raised on Jackson Browne and Bruce Springsteen, Brooks has always been proud of where he comes from. He had his sights set on Los Angeles, but on the way to making this big move, Brooks stopped in Nashville to visit a friend and decided Tennessee made a good home base to grow as a singer-songwriter. He didn’t continue west until he joined up with his friend and mentor Stephen Kellogg for Kellogg’s “South, East, North, West” US tour in 2015-16. Kellogg taught […]

World-renowned, horn-powered, house-rocking, Grammy-nominated blues band Roomful of Blues takes over the Ross Farm on Saturday, August 7! Rain or shine! With a non-stop performance schedule for over 50 years, Roomful of Blues has earned critical, popular and radio success and a legion of fans across the globe. Even though the band lineup has changed over the years, Roomful of Blues has always been one of the tightest, most joyful blues ensembles in the world. Currently an eight-piece unit led by guitarist Chris Vachon, the band has never sounded fresher or stronger. Singer Phil Pemberton brings his sweet and soulful vocals and adds another bright new dimension to the jazzy, jump-blues musical roots. Their winning combination of jump, swing, blues, R&B and soul remains their calling card, as does their ability to fill the dance floor. Along with bassist John Turner, trumpeter and Basking Ridge-native Carl Gerhard, drummer Chris Anzalone, keyboardist Rusty Scott, baritone and tenor saxophonist Alek Razdan, and tenor and alto saxophonist Rich Lataille, Roomful keeps on rockin’ into 2021! According to DownBeat magazine, Roomful of Blues “are in a class by themselves.” With their masterful combination of jumping, horn-heavy, hard-edged blues and R&B, it’s no wonder why […]

We are delighted to welcome Christian Lopez back to the Ross Farm this fall! It’s hard to imagine a Ross Farm Music Series season without this young man who first played in the Barn on an unusually cold October afternoon in 2015. He stole a lot of hearts that day and it’s been our pleasure to host him every year since, with the exception of 2020 when everything was put on hold for the pandemic. For those who may not have seen Christian Lopez yet, he is an American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Martinsburg, WV. His mother, a music teacher, steeped him in piano beginning at the age of 5 and guitar soon after. He began songwriting in his early teenage years, and in 2014, signed his first record deal with Blaster Records. At 18, he recorded his LP, “Pilot,” followed by his debut full length album “Onward” in 2015, both produced by Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb, also known for his work with Chris Stapleton, Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson and […]
