About The Ross Family
The Ross Family began performing in public during the late 1990s, mainly
in dinner-theatre type environments for traveling motor-coach tours. In 2003, 2004, and 2006
the bilingual group was featured in the
Charlottetown Festival at the Confederation Centre of the Arts. In 2005, in conjunction with the Quebec government,
the Ross Family
performed full-length concerts at several official venues in Quebec.
They also performed at the Acadian Festival in Caraquet, New Brunswick
that year.
Local festivals such as Rendez-vous Rustico and Abram's Village Acadian
Festival are no stranger to the Ross Family either, as they have made
numerous appearances there over the years, most recently being 2007.
In
addition to providing Island entertainment for the I.T. division of the
Conference Board of Canada in 2007, they were also guests at the folksy
Close to the Ground concert series in Poole's Corner in 2005, 2006, and
2007.
In 2006 and 2007, a new way to see the group was provided via The Ross
Family Ceilidh in Stanley Bridge, P.E.I. These shows were initially one
night per week during July and August in 2006, but having proved
popular, with both tourists and Islanders alike, they were expanded to
two nights per week from late June to mid-September in 2007 & 2008.
The Ross Family is currently creating their 2009 show to be presented in
Stanley Bridge again.
