I'm a harmonica player, keyboardist, composer and record producer living in Los Angeles, California. In addition to a steady output of original music with many incredible collaborators and gracious friends, I've recorded harmonica for/alongside notable artists/composers/performers/heroes including Bon Iver, Kesha, Ben Folds, Bruce Hornsby, Robbie Robertson, Brad Mehldau, Daniel Lanois, Lupe Fiasco, Moses Sumney, Noah Cyrus, Pomplamoose, Nataly Dawn Rita Coolidge, Keb' Mo', Jim Keltner, Hans Zimmer, Marco Beltrami, Bear McCreary, Lyle Workman and Alf Clausen. You can catch me performing regularly around the LA area with the Sheriffs of Schroedingham and Vignes Rooftop Revival, and on tour occasionally with Ben Folds, Marc Cohn and Chelsea Williams.
From time to time I'm asked to describe my music. It's tough to do but I think Andre LaFosse has done it well: "Ross Garren’s sound world is a meeting of vintage Americana, retro-futurism, classic songcraft and whimsical surrealism." So there you have it—thanks Andre!
