Ross Ainslie

Description

This fourth album from Ross follows on from his critically acclaimed album ‘Sanctuary’, Ross is very much into the concept of an album and telling a story through music, Vana like Sanctuary is designed to be listened through continuously (No skipping tracks). Vana is heavily influenced by a kind of World music sound from Ross’ various experiences over the years with bands like Salsa Celtica and India Alba, the new additional of Paul Towndrow on Sax has allowed a slightly jazzy edge to some of the tracks.

There is a special bonus track called ‘Tune for Everyone’ that is only available on the physical album.
