Lee Ross

Some musicians fill a stage.

Some fill a room.

Lee Ross fills both.

One beat.

One loop.

One riff.

Then another.

Before long, a full-band sound is rising from a single performer.

Keyboard. Saxophone. Flute. Live looping. Groove layered on groove until the whole room is moving.

For years, Lee Ross has been building dance floors across the Northeast, sharing stages with artists like George Clinton, Guster, and G. Love & Special Sauce. This fall, he makes his first-ever Iowa appearance.

Right here.

At The Ideal.

This isn't a backing track.

Nothing is pre-recorded.

Every groove is built in front of you. Every solo arrives exactly once. Every performance becomes its own living thing.

Some concerts ask you to listen.

This one dares you to stand still.
