His album American Wilderness is an intensely personal and self-revealing song suite that grew out of […]

During a summer tour that is taking Stephen Kellogg coast to coast with stops at acclaimed festivals such as Telluride Bluegrass Festival in Colorado and AMERICANAFEST in Nashville, the artist returns to the Ross Farm this Saturday, June 22. Kellogg released his latest record “Objects in the Mirror” in late 2018 and has been busily touring in support of that release.

We are so happy The End of America will be with us again on Saturday, July 27! Gates will open at 6:00 p.m. and the concert will begin at 7:00 p.m. Donate now! The End of America quickly became a Ross Farm favorite when they appeared during our very first season of live music in the Music Room. It was clear that the house was not going to be big enough to hold the crowd that this band draws! Mark your calendars now for this outdoor concert. The End of America is a band of friends who met on the road and found a kindred spirit in one another. The Philadelphia/NYC trio credit their name to Kerouac’s On The Road -- relating to travelling “across the groaning continent” in search of inspiration. The sound is centered on their voices, weaving three distinct leads into captivating harmonies over a solid foundation of folk, rock, and Americana. Fans often draw comparison to Crosby Stills Nash and Young, The Avett Brothers, and Dawes. James Downes, Trevor Leonard and Brendon Thomas were all frontmen of other projects. In 2010 they joined forces to record their live debut EP, Steep Bay. Since then they have […]

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 […]
