Description

Zachary Ross, the Bay area's fast-breaking modern-vintage soul singer/songwriter, and his 9 piece R&B orchestra, Desolation Angels, recently released their debut album "For the Love I'm Forgetting" to a sold out audience at San Francisco's Boom Boom Room. Although the title of the new record is slightly vague (it could easily be read as a hope to remember one's anniversary or an homage to getting over that last nasty break-up) there is nothing vague about Ross' poignant, heartfelt songs. The group's sound, usually part horn-section funk / part "Quiet Storm" ballad calls to mind some of the old-school soul artists of the 60's but Ross' lilting, smoke & honey voice and his non-standard approach to songwriting give things a twist that keep his music fresh while maintaing a classic appeal.

Born and raised in Kansas City, Zachary developed his craft sitting in with older, more experienced players in seedy blues clubs, where he was invariably the youngest guy on stage. "Seeing the passion and soul that poured from those players, watching them connect with an audience in such an honest way was a huge motivation," recalls Zachary. That listener connection is what hooked him for good, fueling his love of soul and gospel music and inspiring his almost folk approach to lyricism. His pure and sincere words string together an imagery filled recollection of his life. But as Zachary says, "these are scenes that we've all been through and my hope is that people get something of their own from the tunes. My job is to take something true, make it beautiful with words, and accessible with groove."
