THE PERFORMER:

 

“Ross Douglas… has extraordinary rapport with his audience.”

— Joelle Rabu

“Ross Douglas is a gifted songwriter, powerful singer and a talented multi-instrumentalist – a delight to work with. …his singing style recalls the best Canadian folk singers (Stan Rogers, James Keelaghan, etc.). On one occasion he even wrote a very witty song –at extremely short notice – to commemorate the Rogue Folk Club’s Christmas Party. I would recommend him heartily and unreservedly for festivals, concerts, street performances, musical theatre, or just about anything else for that matter!”

— Steve Edge; Artistic Director Rogue Folk Club
