About Me
An eclectic musician, in search of something much greater than himself, Ramaya Soskin has been writing and performing music in Boulder Colorado since 2000. Starting first at Naropa University, he formed a trio named Specter X. While maturing as a songwriter he practiced his craft and soon started the band SLOWROSA with local songstress Cate Coslor, Tres Altman, Chris Mustaine and Jeb Bows. The band performed with acts such as Devotchka, The Fray, and The Czars at Boulder's "Fox" and "Boulder Theatre". The bands' representation; Brian Schwartz (Dinosaur Jr. and Rose Hill Drive) was a great support, but the act was unable to continue in it's present form. Visit myspace.com/SLOWROSA for more info.
All in all, Ramaya and the bands he has been a part of have shared evenings with: Mannequin Makeout, Bluebook, Chris Pureka, Strangers Die Everyday, Max Davies and Tongue Noir, Dechen Hawk & Old Soul, Gregory Alan Isakov & The Frieght, Clay Rose, The Paper Stars, Punkalele, The Hot IQ's, Matson Jones, Libby Kirkpatrick, Bright Channel, Buck 65, County Road X, Shanti Groove, Porlolo, New Dialectic, Ian Cooke, Mark Darling, and even Fiona Apple (for five minutes with his friend Greg Isakov).
Now performing under the name "A. Ballad Nightly", Ramaya has crafted a set of new material, both haunting and revealing. His debut CD is a collection of delicate lullabyes, saucy rockers, and sultry ballads. Written and recorded in his shoebox of a home, it will surely make it's mark in many hearts. The new album: "All In Good Time", will be available for purchase on this site through CD Baby by early November 2007! And also as a download from iTunes...
