HISTORY

When Derrick and Amy Ross began performing as Nowhere Man and a Whiskey Girl in early 2003, their intentions were simple enough: Select a name that hinted at their roots in the American West and established their identity as a determinedly two-person operation. The name also cast them as a couple of wanderers, too intoxicated with the possibilities of someplace else to settle down. In that sense, the name would prove prophetic as it charted the course of the next five years of their lives. Unable to locate a satisfactory permanent home, they accumulated more than their fair share of temporary addresses. When it wasnt the pony-trail towns of Bisbee, Tucson, and Willcox in the Arizona Territory, it was cooler locales like Corvallis and Nashville. Upon the release of their debut album, they hit the road for weeks at a time, bypassing the metropolitan centers in favor of the oft-neglected smaller towns in between. Wherever they went, they brought a simple musical proposition: Her piano and voice, his acoustic guitar, a love of lifes little details, and a sense of humor. Although they traversed a landscape of bleached-husk desolation, they arrived none the worse for wear. Their longing for home unfulfilled, they found something of greater value along the way. They found a legion of like-minded hopeful searchers who believed in what they had to say and how they said it...

Nowhere Man and a Whiskey Girl : Children of Fortune ReviewAugust 1, 2011 : by Carly Schorman Link to Yab Yum Music Article here.The first time I ever heard Nowhere Man and a Whiskey Girl it was nothing like I expected. I had foolishly envisioned some depressing, desolate country/western music and what I got instead was beautiful, harmonic folk-pop with a distinctly desert feel.Its no surprise that Nowhere Man and A Whiskey Girl won a Tammie for Best Folk Group back in 2008. The music of Nowhere Man and a Whiskey Girl offers their listeners folk music abounding in a Western sensibility: straightforward, occasionally whimsical, and a little salty.Their latest release, Children of Fortune, provides proof positive that Nowhere Man and a Whiskey Girl know the ropes of songwriting. Songs like For the Birds and BD illustrate the bands storytelling ability, a necessity for any respectable folk-singing duo. Playful and lithesome, each track helps free the listener from the burdens of the world.Lead vocalist and pianist, Amy Ross, sings with resounding clarity. She dances her voice through each song to shape the landscapes within. Derrick Ross is the Nowhere Man to Amys Whiskey Girl on guitar. The band opted for a name that expressed the two-person presence of their group.Nowhere Man and a Whiskey Girl have a distinct sound as any spin through their album will reveal. But within this overarching sound, individual songs are crafted precisely to give each track its own temperament.Down Here provides a playful twang for the lyrics that speak of a whore-loving man. The song Tumbleweed carries hints of an early-Elton John influence. The songs have a timeless feel perhaps because they all seem somewhat temporally placed, but that unspecified era seems to jump around depending on the track. Caramel Sails the Seven Seas could be heard on a seaside boardwalk in the 1930s while Nancy Superstar has a modern pop flair.The groups songwriting ability really stands out on Children of Fortune. Amy and Derrick Ross create songs that reflect a ironic outlook and easy-going humor without sacrificing sincerity. Full of western charm, the bands current Bisbee location seems decidedly befitting their repertoire.Derrick and Amy hold a love for the road so if you dont make it down to Bisbee, be sure to watch for the duo in your town. Until then, check out their album Children of Fortune today.
