Artist: Morgan Cameron Ross, Album: Morgan Cameron Ross, Song: Hey There Darlin'

Morgan Cameron Ross is a singer songwriter originally from Vancouver but now residing in Toronto, Ontario.  Ross moved to Toronto in 2005 and formed the band, Birds Of Wales.  The band's popularity grew quite rapidly in the city and they even ventured overseas to play a number of dates in the U.K..  They supported Aussie songwriter (and new Canadian citizen), Xavier Rudd, on his European tour.  They would release their debut in 2010 called, Belgravia Hotel.  A year later, Ross found life much simpler as a solo artist and released his self titled debut album with indie label, Sparks Music.  Coincidentally, the same label that signed Birds Of Wales.  This is a fantastic album and Ross is a supremely talented singer songwriter.  His music combines a variety of styles ranging from country to rock.  Hey There Darlin, is the album opener which is a solid power pop tune.  You can hear the song on You Tube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRyh7YSEvoc).  If there was any justice in this world, this album would have garnered a 2012 Juno nomination.  You can follow Ross at http://www.morgancameronross.com/.  You can purchase his self titled debut on Itunes.  Thanks for reading and enjoy!
