Ross Cooper
Don't you hate it when people who are extremely talented at one thing choose to do something else? Well, meet Ross Cooper. He considers himself primarily a songwriter, but you might beg to differ with his self-assessment after listening to his album. Songwriter? How about performer? Cooper dabbles in country, outlaw, rock and shades of folk on this effort, but his mark sticks on every song. Although they're not all gems, he puts it together on opener "When I Think About Your Leaving," the forceful "Reckless" and the tender "She Watches Rain."

Bio
Ross Cooper got his start playing a weekly open jam at a world renowned blues bar when he was only 13. It was evident early on that Ross not only had a strong voice, but a soul beyond his years. 7 years later he is now packing venues such as Blue Light (Lubbock, TX), and The White Elephant Saloon (Ft. Worth, TX), and toured in the summer of 2009. He has shared the stage with national acts and is garnering interest statewide. Gaining fans everywhere he goes, Ross' honest lyrics are sure to captivate audiences, young and old. As diverse as he is talented, Ross enjoys playing almost any genre and his music appeals to a broad audience. A native of Lubbock, Texas, Ross has been playing guitar, writing music & performing for over 8 years and has garnered great interest within the West Texas music community. Although he considers himself primarily a songwriter, he also finds performing gratifying and has an extremely optimistic outlook on life and music. “I don’t wait for inspiration to strike; we are surrounded with enough inspiration to write a million songs, so I try to take advantage of it.” Cooper's influences range from Gram Parsons to B.B. King and it is evident in his music.
