Folk Singer Rose Laughlin has returned to her home town of Seattle. Since 2003 Rose has been in Chicago performing traditional Celtic and American Roots music. Although these traditional songs are her first love, there are many great songs from other genres that you may hear her sing.
Rose performed with guitarist/ composer/producer, Mike Kirkpatrick while in Chicago.
She released her second cd “The Chicago Sessions.” Rose and Mike have collaborated on the cd which features many of the songs they performed together. Mike produced the album as well as played (guitar), (soprano 12 string guitar), (organ), (dulcimer), and (vocal harmony).
The resulting sound of “The Chicago Sessions” is distinct from her first album. Each album is a reflection of Rose’s evolving style and the style of the producer. As an artist Rose feels that, interpretation, evolution, and risk are an important part of her art form. Rose delivers each song with an emotional intensity befitting the song.
“The Chicago Sessions” also features Devin Shepherd (fiddle), Jackie Moran (bodhrans), and Kat Eggleston (vocal harmony.)
