Blaine Andrew Ross Born in the salt and timber of Grays Harbor, Blaine Andrew Ross is a western musician, saddle bronc rider, and day hand shaped by dust, miles, and honest work in the Palouse. His debut record Wilder Than a Bronco (2025) rides hard and restless, with a self-titled follow-up set for June 2026. Ross writes from the saddle and the road, Idaho and Washington fence lines, Oregon arenas, long drives between small stages. His songs carry the grit of day work, the thunder of rodeo, and the quiet truths found somewhere between sunrise and last call. A cowboy-singer in the truest sense, he doesn’t just tell stories, he’s lived every one.
