THE TEAM BEHIND THE ROSS…
To celebrate Labor Day, I want to give a big thanks to the team behind The Ross that helps give birth to a brand-new episode of WHO’S the ROSS? talk show, each & every week at EL CID in Silverlake.
For starters, there’s our next level house-band SCOTTIE & THE TWO HOTTIES, featuring band-leader SCOTT WITTENBERG, gracious guitar god NATE RICH, and our ace of bass NICK CISNEROS. And since this is a weekly production, you’d be smart to have a strong bench, that’s why the first person we call when we need a sub on the drums is our 6th-Man, JULIAN HO.

No late-night band has a singer, let alone resident soulstress, like CHEYENNE JOLENE, who not only opens the show by melting faces & hearts, but is also frequently worked into bits because of her talent, grace & beauty.

Then there’s the lone holdover from our Portland days, a man that’s been with us for over 500 shows, producer/announcer/bit player when you need a loooooooooot of energy, ROB EMS!

Since February 2019, WHO’S the ROSS? has been co-written & co-hosted by the hysterical, giving, sweet sweet stand-up comedian, DAX JORDAN. An Oregon transplant, he & Ross met back in 2003 when Mr Jordan was slaying the local comedy scene, and was kind enough to befriend a wiry, wild, whiteboy named Aaron.

WHO’S the ROSS? is also lucky enough to have a wonderful rotating squad of acting talent that graces our stage when called upon, including SAHARA THOMPSON, ANDY ROSSI, and MADISON SHANLEY.
