omposer/performer Ross Berkal's unique body of work has been part of the New York music scene since the mid 1990's. His celebrated project Dahlia brought a distinctive and reflectful quality to alternative rock not previously heard. In 2003 he gave focus to the composition of music for worship and, within the year, completed Songs That Jesus Taught Me, an expansive collection of Christian-themed songs employing both popular and traditional stylings that marked his recorded debut in the genre.
