Sacramento guitarist Ross Hammond has played on large stages and in small corners throughout the United States. His sound is equal parts jazz, folk, blues, spirituals and world music. His latest release is "Flight," a solo record of originals and spirituals for acoustic 6 2tring, 12 string and acoustic slide guitar.
Ross has collaborated/gigged/recorded with:
Kevin Seconds, Oliver Lake, Pheeroan AkLaff, Vinny Golia, Vladimir Tarasov, Nicole Mitchell, Dwight Trible, Calvin Weston, Jamaaladeen Tacuma, Alex Cine, Amy Reed, Steve Adams, Ken Filiano, Mike Pride, Max Johnson, Catherine Sikora, Scott Amendola, Steuart Liebig, Sameer Gupta, Daryl Shawn, Tony Passarell, Alex Jenkins, Erik Kleven and more.

Ruminations is a collective project from Rent Romus. They are instantaneous generators of the poke and ponder process of sound-shaping abstract experimental workout routines, oblivious to prescribed thought or musical purpose.

Cost: $6-15 sliding
