Roots rock, blues & Americana tour-de-force Mike Ross has in the past 6 years released a total of 5 solo albums. From 2014’s Americana-tinged Spindrift, the heavily riffed blues found on Jenny’s Place in 2013 to the sublime country-rock of Nashville recorded The Clovis Limit Pt.1 in 2019 and its rumbling space rock counterpart The Clovis Limit Pt.2 which exploded into the world in October 2020.
Mike has consistently continued to raise the bar musically, proving, without doubt, his unique and exquisite talents as composer, guitarist and singer. Throughout this same period, he’s cemented a reputation as a world-class live performer, having toured all over the UK, Europe and beyond into Russia and the USA. Described by one reviewer as the troubadour of authenticity’, Mike brings a staggering authenticity and self-awareness to his work.
This is a short tour of the UK in support of new album release The Clovis Limit Tennessee Transition, a ‘companion’ work to the Clovis Limit duology which features solo arrangements of songs from The Clovis Limit Pt’s 1 & 2 along with a smattering of frighteningly authentic Delta blues via covers of Charlie Patton and Bukka White classics. Mike is happy to announce a further 12 dates in Spain/Portugal today with an additional run of follow-on French and Benelux shows TBA very soon. All venues have been carefully cherry-picked to minimise the risk of last-minute cancellations. Mike had this to say about the tour –
‘Man, I absolutely can’t WAIT to get back on the road in the UK and Europe, putting in the miles reconnecting with fans out there playing songs from The Tennessee Transition and my other albums’
