The Art of Jazz: Tyler Ross
Wednesday, July 15 | 6:00 – 7:00 pm
The Gibbes is back again with Charleston Jazz to bring some cool tunes to the hot summer nights.
Tyler Ross was born and bred in Neenah, Wisconsin and credits his strong work ethic (“I’m happiest when I can get three solid hours of practice in a day”) and devotion to music to his upbringing. “Wisconsin folks work harder and play harder than any culture I’ve been a part of.”
Tyler took to guitar at age 12, and “as soon as I picked up the guitar, I was writing songs, jazz tunes, and the like.” His craft was honed at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, and Western Illinois University, and beyond traditional guitar, he also plays the lap steel guitar, Rickenbacker bass guitar, and rock-n-roll drums.
As a member of the College of Charleston Jazz Faculty, Tyler Ross has between 15-20 guitar students in addition to teaching jazz combo, guitar ensemble and jazz repertoire class.

You’ll lay down on soft mattresses, snuggled up in cushions and blankets. In this relaxed state, you’re open to receive the vibration of the Tibetan bowls and classical piano music.
