Ernest Troost is an award-winning Los Angeles singer-songwriter and guitarist, whose new folk style is at the forefront of an American roots music renaissance. The renowned folk star’s new album, Ernest Troost Live at McCabe’s , blends folk, ragtime and Piedmont blues styles into a sumptuous symphony of simplicity. Ernest Troost is an Emmy-winning composer of more than 100 orchestral scores for Hollywood films and television, so the cinematic backdrop in his story songs comes from a unique perspective not shared by other folk musicians. As a songwriter, Troost composes songs that resonate with the pure authenticity of traditional blues and folk, but with a great freshness and contemporary relevance for 21st century audiences. “I just like writing acoustic music and, in fact, my style is very spare,” says Troost.
