#podcast #interview #rossgipson Welcome to Episode 15 featuring Tik Influencer and star, Ross Gipson from Carthage, MO In this episode we got to talk to Ross about his being a cancer survivor, his songwriting style, his elven story and folk songs, his art, his comedy, his strategy involving Tik Tok and so much more! Courtesy of https://www.reverbnation.com/rossgipson I wrote my first song when I was eighteen years old. I had been listening to Robert Johnson a lot, and decided to write a blues song. It was called "Society's Blues," and thinking back on it I can safely say it was awful. It didn't matter though. At the time it was good, and it was enough to get me interested in songwriting. Soon after I heard that song I started listening to Bob Dylan and my songwriting really started to grow after that. The years that have followed have seen me grow as an artist. I have discovered new music - Leonard Cohen, Ben Folds, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Dan Bern, Bonnie Prince Billy, The Mountain Goats, to name a few - and I've had a lot of people encouraging me along the way, and I've had a lot of great musicians who I've worked with and played with who have helped to cultivate me as an artist. I continue to grow even now and push myself to be as good as I can be at this.
