Ross Newell

Ross Newell, now touring as a solo artist is best known as lead singer and songwriter in The Mulligan Brother from Mobile AL, a band that has toured throughout the U.S. and Europe. His song writing weaves heartfelt tales of love and loss into complex yet comforting storytelling, the combination of which will leave you nostalgic for something (or someone) that you can’t quite put your finger on. With a remarkable universality, you could as easily imagine the tales spilling from the mouth of a storied, laugh-lined old man as his teenage grandson grieves his first heartbreak. He sings and plays about where they’ve been in a way that makes us all realize we’ve been there, too. Songs written and performed by Newell have over15 million combined streams on Spotify.
As a solo artist Ross has performed at 30A Songwriter Festival, Songsmith Gathering ,Safety Harbor Song Fest, Black Warrior Songwriter Festival, Red Clay Music Foundry, Acoustic Cross Roads Music Festival.

Here are some quotes from media and venues:
Ross Newell could not be a more magnetic performer. His demeanor immediately puts everyone at ease - then he absolutely floors you with his musicianship and finely crafted songs. He just keeps pulling you in. Like gravity itself.
Do yourself a favor and find his music. Buy it. Turn your friends on to it. You'll be glad you did." - Alan Dyson; Board Chairman of Shreveport House Concerts:


“Newell’s voice tends to be very contemporary. He often overlays the rippling flow of the music with a fast-paced, verbose patter, and he packs songs with sharp imagery. Newell has a gift for phrases that pop out and grab you, even when you've set the album playing in the background. ” — Lawrence Specker, AL.com



“Singer/songwriter Ross Newell bring a warmth and finely crafted talent to the experience and the superb vocal tone of Newell is without doubt one of the finest live voices I have heard in some time. Newell is a fine writer and his eye for a couplet is as finely honed as ever. ” — Paul McGee, Lonesome Highway Magazine
