Ricky Ross

Songwriter and lead singer for Deacon Blue, Ricky Ross is taking his new solo album and autobiography on tour! Catch him live at The Queen's Hall on Friday 23rd September!

Ricky Ross

About Ricky Ross

In his memoir, Ross revisits his formative years growing up in Dundee, his early forays into music and the beginning, extraordinary success, fall-out, and re-emergence of Deacon Blue. Ross writes movingly and with great wit about the people and places that have meant the most to him, as well as his relationship with faith, politics, and the ever-changing challenges of being a musician.

Together with his autobiography, Ricky Ross releases his 8th solo album, 'Short Stories Vol. 2': an album that was recorded at home, then augmented with sumptuous strings and brass, alongside contributions from his fellow Deacon Blue cohorts Lorraine McIntosh and Gregor Philp.

The tour will see Ricky at the piano, presenting songs from across his entire career and sharing stories from his autobiography.
