Clay Ross: 9th Annual Reunion Show Held 12/22 At Electric City Playhouse

Since 2000, Clay Ross has reunited with longtime collaborators Brian Mulholland and Adam Snow for a late December tours in the Southeast. This year, he leads his trio to six separate cities in celebration of his latest album, Matuto. The Electric City Playhouse is proud to host both an 8PM and 10PM performance on December 22.

Matuto (ma-two-toe) is Brazilian slang for country bumpkin. Imagine the sound of a Brazilian Carnaval in the Appalachian Mountains. A sound where exotic percussion instruments rumble beneath blues drenched vocals, Telecaster twangs, and folksy fiddle tunes. Now, imagine these sounds in the hands of some of NYC's finest young improvisers as they light up club and festival stages worldwide.

Ross, a South Carolina native, has become an in-demand guitarist on the NYC jazz, world, and roots music scenes. In the last four years, Ross has submerged himself in Brazilian music as a member of Cyro Baptista's world-renowned percussion ensemble "Beat the Donkey." He has completed four international tours as a U.S. Jazz Ambassador and currently performs at bluegrass festivals across North America with rising folk star April Verch.
