Rockstar Violinist Podcast

Texas-raised, Nashville-based Ross Holmes has lent his talents to country stars, pop icons and bluegrass standouts. Just a partial list of artists Ross has toured and/or recorded with includes Bruce Hornsby, Mumford & Sons, Ricky Skaggs & The Del McCoury Band! In addition to playing for other established acts he's also formed genre-shattering bands of his own including the adventuresome instrumental trio ChessBoxer. This conversation with Ross covers a lot of ground, but perhaps most importantly it get's to the heart of the amazingly intersectional moment that is cross-genre string playing in 2017.
