The band opened for prominent musical acts including Stevie Ray Vaughan, INXS, Jerry Lee Lewis, Guns N' Roses and Jane's Addiction.

The Broken Homes signed with MCA Records to release three albums during the 1980s, on which they worked with producers such as Andy Johns.

A "chance meeting" in a Los Angeles pool hall with Lenny Kravitz (facilitated by Kathy Valentine of the Go-Go's) led to a long-tenured musical partnership.

Ross has since written and performed instruments on each of Kravitz's albums, as well as for other artists including Sheryl Crow, Mick Jagger, B.B.

[4] Ross and Kravitz performed at the 2012 Kennedy Center Honors tribute to Led Zeppelin, covering their 1969 song "Whole Lotta Love".
