Who Is Mosby Anyways?
Based out of Memphis, TN, From Elsewhere is the solo project of Jacob "Mosby" Ross. With the help of Cliff Stallsmith (the MASTER of From Elsewhere's EP) on lead guitar, From Elsewhere has become much more than an ex-rocker in a coffee shoppe. Cliff and Mosby met at Bartlett United Methodist Church several years back and had played together on several different occasions before Mosby asked Cliff to play with him one night at a local Starbucks, and things have only gotten better since. Cliff is in a band called The Weather, which is AMAZING. As a whole, From Elsewhere and The Weather are slowly becoming a family as the help each other progress in their careers.
His next single would be titled "Near or Far," about a girl he was dating at the time and the difficulites they would face with a long distance relationship. Sure enough, those difficulties caught up to them and not long after the song's release they broke up. Mosby struggled with things in his life for a while and finally produced two new songs based on experiences he had his summer away from home. The first was "Medicated Tragedy" about stupid mistakes, and the next was "Home" and it talked about the problems of home life and family. Needless to say, "Medicated Tragedy" was too deep and immense for even Mosby himself to perform, and he rewrote it to be "What Will It Take." Mosby finished his first EP in December of 2006.
Where It All Began
Mosby started a solo career after leaving Bartlett's local band Now Live (formerly Ginosko, now a part of Endorphin Rush.) Leaving the hardcore rock scene, Mosby decided he'd write about his personal life and the state of things. After several bad attempts at writing, Mosby finally produced "Coffee Shoppe" which was based on a past relationship that didn't work out. After that, he stuck to covers when he couldn't write any quailty material. He moved to Lakeshore UMA for the summer of 2006 where he was a church camp counselor and hoped he could use the experiences of his independence to write some more upbeat tunes, however Mosby failed to write until he returned home.
What Has He Been Up To?
In January of 2007, Mosby began playing larger shows with local Memphis bands as well as bands from all over the country. His friendship with Owen Pye would prove beneficial several times down the road. He released his first full-length album, "Love, Lust, Loss" in May 2007 and he dedicated it to his beloved friend, and inspiring teacher, Ashley Marie Scott, who was tragically murdered on November 23, 2006. Ashley owned two of Mosby's t-shirts, every recording he'd done, and in her classroom had all of his flyers on the walls. She gave him constructive criticism on all of his songs and helped him through all of the tough situations that he wrote about and she will be greatly missed.
