City Winery Chicago Presents Jac Ross live on Monday, August 10th at 7:30 PM! At a time when the world is searching for meaningful voices and authentic connection, JacRoss stands out as an artist driven by both purpose and passion. Through heartfelt storytelling and emotionally rich vocals, Ross channels experiences of hardship, perseverance, and triumph into music that resonates far beyond the stage. His smooth yet commanding voice not only entertains but also inspires, offering messages of unity, resilience, and hope to listeners from all walks of life. Drawing inspiration from legendary artists and socially conscious music that has influenced generations, Ross uses his platform to address cultural, social, and political themes. His songs reflect personal experiences and the realities of the communities around him, blending powerful narratives with soulful melodies. With a commitment to creating music that sparks conversation and encourages understanding, he continues the tradition of artists who have used their voices to inspire change. Born and raised in the small town Live Oak, Ross developed a deep appreciation for music at an early age. Surrounded by the sounds of classic soul and R&B, and influenced by his father’s work as a preacher, he discovered his gift for singing as a young child. Although he grew up in a disciplined household, his parents recognized his natural talent and encouraged his artistic growth, allowing him the freedom to develop his own style and musical identity. By the age of five, Ross was already cultivating the vocal abilities and passion that would eventually shape his career as a rising force in contemporary soul and R&B.
