PROOF is an independent band based out of Southern California that has
been constructed over the past two years. In this short time they have
made an incredible impact on the Inland Empire music scene as well as
the Anaheim and Los Angels area.
Each
member of the band brings their own creative style and influence to the
writing process. These influences are based upon their personal life
experiences, people they meet and the music they listen to. This has
given them a style of music that is equivalent to none. Their sound is a
unique blend of rock and hip hop.
100
PROOF has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with bands such as;
Rehab, Too Short, Strung Out and Winds Of Plague. They have also had the
honor of playing on stages such as; The Whisky A Go Go, House of Blues
(Hollywood and Anaheim), The Vibe, Chain Reaction, The Fox Theater
Pomona, Stingers Nightclub San Bernardino, and other numerous venues in
the Inland Empire Area . With their stage experience, explosive energy
and dynamic live set they plan on taking 100 PROOF across the nation in
2012.

PROOF is currently recording their second EP which is due out in the
Spring of 2012. This EP will include collaborations with other well
known MC's from the Inland Empire.
Pianist, composer, and harmonica virtuoso Ross Garren
currently resides in Los Angeles, California, where he leads a busy
career as a performer, composer, studio musician, and educator. His
playing and compositions can be heard on an ever expanding list of
records, film scores, video game scores, and television shows. Inspired
by studio legend Tommy Morgan, Ross plays the diatonic, chromatic, bass,
and chord harmonicas.
In addition to his work as a freelance musician,
Ross has put out a number of his own recordings as a co-leader and
leader. His most recent record is >"Vol. I".
This is what Ross told us about our instruments:
"As a working, gigging harmonica player, it's so important to be
able to rely on my instruments. Of all of the harmonicas I've owned over
the years, Seydel's stainless-steel-reeded instruments have set the
highest standard for durability and reliability...for what I need, they
are the best! In addition, the custom tuning options and the Seydel
team's overall flexibility have been key to keeping me supplied with the
proper tools needed to give my best."
