Live On Stage: Ross Christopher Fairbairn

Ross Christopher Fairbairn is a Richmond, B.C.-born musician and writer. He began writing songs and performing in 2007, carving out a place in Vancouver’s coffee shop scene, songwriter circles, and college radio. By 2012, he was touring the country as a bassist, playing from coast to coast across Canada and New Zealand. Since then, he has backed dozens of artists, clocked thousands of kilometers on the road, and built a career on long drives and late nights.

Now, he’s stepping into the spotlight with Finally, At Last, his debut solo EP, set for release in June 2025. His sound fuses the raw energy of bands like Green Day and Metallica with the storytelling grit of Fred Eaglesmith, Danny Michel, and Tom Waits. He’ll promote the release with a coast-to-coast, one-month solo tour—21 shows across Canada in cideries, wineries, concert series, and festivals before circling back to B.C. to begin working on his folowup full-length solo album, Up To Now, slated for 2026.
