Live Music: Tim Ross and Rockhead
Tim Ross and Rockhead
Tim Ross is a singer/songwriter/guitar slinger who hails from southeastern British Columbia, Canada. His day job as a range management consultant, which translates to “cowboy with a degree”, grants him the privilege of riding the range and making a living in the saddle. He also ranches, raising grass-finished beef.

His night job has been playing in bands of all sorts. His songwriting influences range from rock-and-roll and blues to rockabilly and cowboy songs. Artists he has been compared with include Ian Tyson, Brian Setzer, Stompin’ Tom Connors, and Corb Lund.
Working together with Fraser Armstrong, “Buffalohead” was released in 2006. This record received airplay on College and alternative stations across Canada.
The songs on his first western recording, “Blue Sky, Green Grass”, released in 2006, reveal his humour, and his love of the land, people, dogs, horses and cattle that make up the New West. These songs have received airplay on public radio here in Canada, and have found their way south of the border to Idaho, Washington, Oregon and California.
The most recent ‘Western’ recording, “Cowboy Museum”, with leanings toward rockabilly and western swing was released in 2012. A new rock recording, entitled “13 Scenes” was released in 2020.
