A little bit about me-Erin Rossi 
I have been singing since I was 3 years old. My parents told me I sang before I actually said any words. I have been singing professionally for the past 20 plus years. I started off in choir as a kid and did a couple of plays, then sang for church ceremonies when I was 10 years old. At age 15, my high school choir teacher asked me to be the vocalist for his "all occasion band" called Second Shift. That's when I began singing for corporate events, private parties and wedding receptions. I have collaborated with some of the BEST musicians and singers in the Cleveland area. It is a blessing to be involved with such talented and wonderful people. My vocal style has been described as smokey, bluesy, sultry and soulful. Some of my influences are; Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin, Eva Cassidy, Buddy Miles, Stevie Wonder and Led Zeppelin (to name a few). In 1999 to 2000, I traveled from Cleveland to Jacksonville, FL to sing with an all female R&B group called IMACE. I have been with Jerry Bruno Productions www.jerrybruno.com since 1999 as a vocalist for the bands named; The Tony Camerato Band (TCB) and Rick and the Cutting Edge Band aka RACE. My newest project is working with the incrediblely talented Sam Romano. Our acoustic duo is called "Rossi & Romano". We also have Dwayne Dickman (the awesomely talented singer and guitarist) play with us, we call this the "RRD Trio- Rossi, Romano & Dickman". Adding Dwayne gives us beautiful 3 part harmonies and can add some "edge" as well with some of Dwayne's songs that he sings! Please come check us out! We play all types of music from Van Morrison, Aretha Franklin to Led Zeppelin. Sam plays his guitar, we sing, I play a little precussion and there you have it...a pure sound, no backing tracks! Also availale is "Erin Rossi Band", with this band, I am able to put together any configuration that is needed for a private event or special event. From a duo, trio or a full band, I can fulfill your request! The "Brother's Blues Band" brothersbluesband.com/ is another project I am in as a "blusette". We pay tribute to the Blues Brother's movie and features Todd Meany from Fox 8 News and Rick Starnoni. Sammy Free is the creator of this project and I am happy to be involved in it! I have also sang in the "Really Big Show Band" with Tony Rizzo and Aaron Goldhammer from WKNR 850. When we get together, it's for Cleveland Fundraisers throughout the year. I am an active member in the Cleveland Blues Society and I work with the NEW magazine called The Greater Cleveland Blues News! . I have sung the National Anthem for various Cleveland Professional Sporting events (the Cleveland CAVs, Cleveland Rockers, and Dan Bobish's Cage Fighting Events). Lastly you may still be able to catch me singing the jingle for the Mike Trivisonno Show, WTAM 1100, "We live in Ohio". I hope you will come out and hear me and see how passionate I am about what I do.
