A skilled young Traditional Celtic singer and guitarist, Kristoffer Andrew Ross has been singing with varied groups and solo throughout Upstate New York for a number of years. He brings his enthusiasm for and knowledge of folk music with him wherever he goes, performing unaccompanied or with fingerstyle guitar.
He was perfect for our event. He had a full 90 minute set. His voice and musicality were spot on. He is talented on a number of instruments. He took time to set up and get the sound right for each instrument well before his start time and he came as promised an hour before his start time. His renditions were faithful to the material. He had nice between-song banter that got more than a few chuckles from the audience. Most importantly, our audience was quite pleased with his set. I would and hope to hire him again.
Price Range: $50 and up.
Gig Length: 30 - 120 minutes
Languages: English
Kristoffer's performances are fun-filled yet reflective. Kristoffer interacts with his audience throughout, and introduces most songs with stories of their origins, backgrounds on the traditional trades he sings of, or tales that are simply too witty to pass by.

In addition to solo work, he directs and performs with The Men o’ War Balladeers, who have produced two albums.
Kristoffer has also works as a Designer, Stage Technician, and Technical Director at Theaters in Cambridge, Saratoga Springs, and Albany, NY and Bennington, VT.
I usually perform sitting down, so that I can quickly switch between guitar, bouzouki and other instruments.
If a show requires amplification, please discuss with me beforehand.
