The Windy City Showed Up!!!

CHICAGO FANS ROCK!!! Thanks to everyone that came out to last night's show - and thanks even more for making some noise!

Chicago is a great city (even in the cold & snow). Its always fun to play shows here and last night was no exception.


I got in yesterday evening, just in time for slow traffic, snow, and frigid temps. I always worry a bit that, that will become a factor and keep people away. But last night I was surprised by the turn out - great showing, great music, lots of CD sold, which means we're closer today than yesterday at building our well!

Click the widget below and bring us even closer (AND HELP SPREAD THE WORD!!!)

Tonight i'll be Terre Haute, IN at The Verve. So Indiana-er's, plan to come out for another great night of music - get your super bowl sunday kicked off to the right start :-)

Thanks again Chicago. I am humbled by your kindness!

Peace,
Ross

Build a Well with Us...

A week from today, I'm kicking off my first concert to raise money for the freshwater well we're building. I say we're because without YOU it won't happen. Doing nothing means people will continue to suffer the consequences of not having freshwater resources (and I can no longer stand on the sidelines pretending I can't make a difference). Unclean water contributes to more death than AIDS and Malaria combined. But it doesn't have to!

The solution is simple too.
The solution is YOU.

Kate and I decided that this year I'm giving all of my profits from touring and CD sales to build a freshwater well. The well provides sustainable, clean water to 250+ people for over 20 years.

Next Tuesday, JANUARY 26th, I'll be performing at Cicero's in St. Louis, MO. Music starts at 8PM. I hope you'll mark your calendar and plan to be there. It'll be a great show for a great cause. Come along and bring a friend, and together we can make this well happen!

If you can't make the show, you can give directly HERE, or purchase CDs online HERE to make a difference.

See you there,
Ross

I NEED YOUR HELP IN 2010...

Cheers to 2010 and cheers to everyone that made 2009 an incredible year!!!

I'm gonna try and make this quick, so hold on...

2010 is going to be one to remember. The shows are gonna be fresh and exciting, there's gonna be a new album, the ways to get connected are going to be easier, and TOGETHER we're gonna generate some real movement and justice in the world!

MISSION: this year RC is going to embark on a couple projects.
PROJECT #1- BUILD A FRESHWATER WELL from its tour & CD sale earnings. The freshwater well provides a village of 250+ people with clean drinking water for 20 years. (READ MORE HERE)
