Ross Neilsen & the Sufferin’ Bastards

Fredericton, NB | Electric Blues, Blues-Rock

Hometown bluesman Ross Neilsen is one of the hardest working blues-rockers on the scene today and quickly establishing himself among the East Coast’s best. He recently released his sixth album – Live at the Acoustic Grill – the follow up to his acclaimed 2010 album Redemption, which he recorded in Mississippi with three-time Grammy nominated producer Cody Dickinson of North Mississippi Allstars after competing at the 2010 International Blues Challenge in Memphis. Proving hard work pays off, Ross was nominated for a 2010 Maple Blues Award for Best New Artist, two Rising Star nominations from CBC, back to back Blues Album of the Year nominations from the East Coast Music Association and won Best Blues Recording for Redemption at the 2010 MusicNB awards. Whether electrifying audiences with his power trio or telling tall tales in his intimate solo shows, Neilsen is “out there” delivering unforgettable live shows across the country. Combining clever lyrics with old school, guitar-hero-style guitar playing, Neilsen has secured himself as the real deal among both peers and fans alike. Don’t miss Ross Neilsen solo, opening for Gregg Allman on Thursday, and with the Sufferin’ Bastards as they open for Jonny Lang Saturday in what’s sure to be a blistering set of blues rock, straight from the heart.
