Six String Suicide (Italian Release) Pete Ross and The Paesanos - Six String Suicide



Six String Suicide (Australian Release) Pete Ross & The Paesanos - Six String Suicide

********************

“Featuring troubadour songwriting and a seemingly effortless combining of European, country, folk and roots influences, this promises to be a contender for debut album of the year.”

Tony McMahon - Inpress Magazine

********************

“‘Plenty of trad Americana delights here along with swirling accordion and violin arrangements and that mystical substance that can be felt when you’re crossing the Nullarbor or the endless American prairies – spirit’…… ‘you’d practically imagine songs like Kiss Goodnight, Endless Sea Of Dreams and My Baby’s Gone pouring out of an old Chevy’s stereo while the said car travels down the Route 66.’”

Denis Semchenko - Rave Magazine

********************

“Six String Suicide is your typical country rock album with all the moping and longing Bob Dylan made famous. The tracks are well-crafted, the lyrics thoughtful and Ross’ vocals rich and coarse.”

Elisa Scarton - www.mediasearch.com.au

********************

“Six String Suicide is a manicured collection of blues, rock, country and narrative that in chorus is connected by honest soul and emotion.”

Brewster Hipik - Seed Magazine

********************

“Six String Suicide sounds great, with Pete's authoritative voice taking centre stage.”

Martin Jones - Rhythms Magazine

********************

“With a killer band behind him (the Paesanos), Ross’ album will appeal to an older, more sophisticated punter who enjoys a red wine and a good yarn.”

www.thescene.com.au

********************

“This Italian background singer songwriter delivers beautifully on his song 'Kiss Goodnight' from his album Six String Suicide.”

Michael Mackenzie - ABC Radio

********************

“Ross is blessed with a voice that wouldn’t be out of place in the Snarski family.” thedwarf.com.au.”

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

It is often said to become a true artist one has to make a journey to embrace one’s inner-soul and find inspiration along the way. Having relocated from Melbourne to Italy in 2008, Pete Ross (the former guitarist from highly popular Dan Brodie & The Broken, has done just that….tracing his musical and family ancestry, after he packed up his life and moved in a quest to find all these things and more.

Pete was in a sense following his fathers’ footsteps (Peter Ciani is an iconic 1950s Italian pop star, and made history in the Australian Music industry in 1963 when he emigrated to Australia and EMI released worldwide his first Australian disc with two of his own compositions in Italian). But Pete was searching for more than that. He is on a quest to find truth, beauty and life in other parts in a world where everything resonates with his past and future.

Pete has rapidly forged his own career in Italy by signing to Steamroller record label and has been touring extensively to an ever-expanding and adoring Italian crowd. His Australianness is a curiosity to his fans, but his Sicilian roots have embedded him in the local culture. Performing at various summer festivals in Southern Italy, as well as numerous television appearances, including three performances on RAI International, gaining him immense exposure, Pete has also toured France, Spain and the UK.

Pete’s inspiration to record Six String Suicide and later relocate to Italy first came in 2005, when he spent three months in his parents’ hometown of Sicily discovering his roots, to which he pays respect by recording the traditional Sicilian folk song Sciuri Sciuri.

Early in 2008, Pete was one of two finalists nominated for the Aristocrat Country Entertainer of the Year at the Tamworth Country Music Festival performing Sciuri Sciuri. As a soloist, he was a finalist at the 42nd annual CCMA song-writing awards.

After a successful Italian release in Feb 09 and subsequent Italian tour (which included a sell-out Milan show), Pete returned briefly to Australia in Jun 09 to release his album Six String Suicide, which was recorded with his band The Paesanos, and to undertake a national tour.

Pete’s troubadour song-writing encompasses a brooding, contemplative tone, where he truly bears his soul, in a vein similar to his musical heroes such as Bob Dylan, Lee Hazlewood and Scott Walker. Pete’s longing lyrics combined with powerful storytelling is of a highly personal nature, enabling each song to come to life and strikes a chord to the human condition, love and loss…..all encased in an extraordinarily well-produced folk/county/rock styling. Dark, rich vocals and proficient guitar playing are Pete Ross’ key attributes, as well as a well-crafted song.

Pete Ross & The Paesano’s comprise of Pete Ross (guitar/lead vocals), Matt Green (guitar/backing vocals), Monique Boggia (keys/backing vocals), Dave Watkins (drums), and Graham Franklin (double bass). Melbourne musical luminaries Matt Walker and Liz Stringer also make guest appearances on the CD.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• website analysis

L’artista di Melbourne ha recentemente firmato con Steamroller un contratto internazionale di licenza per il suo album di debutto “Six String Suicide”.

Per molti anni Pete Ross ha suonato insieme alla band Dan Brodie & the Broken Arrows con il nome di Pete Cicciari.

Figlio di Peter Ciani, famoso cantante italo-australiano, con il quale ha coprodotto l’album Six String Suicide e ha cantato in uno dei brani presenti nell’album, Pete ha passato gli ultimi sei mesi in Tour per l’Europa, suonando ampiamente in Italia, Spagna e Francia.

Pete e suo Padre hanno partecipato anche a tre programmi televisivi sulle reti Rai “E’ stato grande cercare negli ultimi anni una connessione con mio Padre, specialmente nello studio della Folk music”. Lui prende ispirazione da tutti i generi di musica, specialmente dalla musica anni 60 e 70.

L’album nasce da diverse influenze e da diversi periodi di tempo., in quest’album Pete ha veramente esplorato le sue radici. In Six Sting Suicide compare anche la band The Paesanos: Matt Green alla chitarra, Monique Boggia alle tastiere e cori, Dave Watkins alla batteria, Graham Franklin al basso.

Pete è stato finalista nel 2008, al concorso per il miglior Entertainer Aristocrat Country dell’anno al Tamworth Country Music Festival, con il brano “Sciuri Sciuri”. È stato finalista anche al 42° concorso CCMA, premio dedicato ai cantautori.

Tra un concerto e l’altro, Pete ha trovato il tempo di scrivere nuova musica nel sud dell’italia. Prossimamente Pete tornerà in Australia con nuovi interessanti progetti per il futuro.
