John Rossbach


Acclaimed actor, Tom Kenny, aka SpongeBob SquarePants, says: “John Rossbach sounds like a perfect cross between John Lee Hooker and Bill Monroe!” He led his award-winning bluegrass ensemble, John Rossbach & Chestnut Grove, for twenty-two years before returning to his home state of West Virginia. He has recorded on Rounder Records and on projects with Bill Keith and Don Stover. John has received eight Meet the Composer awards and appeared the Nashville Network, the Public Broadcasting System, the BBC, CBS, and the Canadian Broadcasting System. Renowned Chicago Tribune critic, Dave Royko, says John’s latest CD From the Mountains to the Mills, is: “Some of the tastiest and most tasteful music that's come my way over the past year.”
