Andrew Ross

Andrew Ross is a filker from Oregon who was dragged to his first convention in 1997 by an enthusiastic friend, and hasn't looked back since. Best known for his quirky parody lyrics and Lois Bujold-based fanfilk, he has been part of the music programming concom at Orycon since 2005, and has been an Interfilk guest at GaFilk and toastmaster at Conflikt. His home, The Uncommons, is an occasional rest stop and house concert venue for bards travelling between Seattle and California.

Because of his reluctance to subject himself to the indignities of modern air travel to get to conventions away from the west coast, Andrew's friends from his area happily call him "the Northwest filk community's best kept secret". However, just put one of his songs on the Pegasus ballot and watch how fast he breaks his flying taboo!
