In 2001 Rose began her journey as an interpreter of traditional American, Celtic and contemporary song. Some of her earliest vocal influences were from her parents’ record collection: Linda Rondstadt, Diana Ross and the Supremes, Simon and Garfunkel, and Judy Collins. Later it would be Karen Carpenter, Stevie Nicks and Natalie Merchant, as well as Irish singers Karan Casey and Susan McKeown.
In 2003 Rose moved to Chicago to study guitar and voice and to immerse herself in the local Irish music scene. There she began performing and recording. She released her first album, “Souvenir” in December 2005, and her sophomore effort, “The Chicago Sessions” in 2008.
Her third cd, “House of Memory,” released April 2011, is a collection of American roots, Celtic, and contemporary song, as well as one song penned by Rose.
Rose currently resides in Seattle.
