artist bio
With a pastoral upbringing in northern Wisconsin, Ross Thorn’s music emanates as a warm and soulful hymn, waking up optimistically beside a snow-covered window. His sharply crafted lyrics—distinctly reminiscent to the likes of Jason Isbell—reveal internal struggles of empathy, questions of human character and virtue, and a search for hope, often finding solace in some unanticipated truth.

Ross Thorn offers a thoughtful exploration into mortality, loss, and identity on his debut album, Hugo. The 9-track record leans heavily into Ross's folk and country roots, showcasing introspective and melancholic songwriting along with political fervor and compassion for others—an album for anyone that appreciates an old sound with a forward-looking message.
