Biography
With the award of a Victoria Rocks Touring Grant having propelled her around Australia on national tour, Rosie Burgess has firmly secured a place for herself and her unique brand of urban folkroots music, in the Australian music scene. Playing straight from the heart, Burgess consistently shows us why she is being called “one of our country’s best rising stars” [Coastfest 2008, NSW].
With her latest album release, Wait for the World [MGM/PSR], getting great support from Triple J, and some extensive national touring under her belt, Burgess’s music has firmly captured our nations hearts and attention.
"When you have heard Rosie perform, you're sure to be tongue-tied trying to tell people how good she is..." says Dave Ritter, organiser of the Bruthen Festival of Blues and Arts.
At festivals and major venues across Australia, Burgess and her band have had the pleasure of playing along side some of Australia's finest musicians, including Ash Grunwald, Mia Dyson, Bill Chambers, Chris Wilson, Deborah Conway and Blue King Brown.
With her quirky and original tunes, Rosie Burgess is captivating audiences wherever she goes. The band brings together both a great love of music, and an engaging sense of humor to the stage, securing a growing fan base of acoustic roots and folk lovers around the globe.
The trio, featuring Sam Lohs from Fruit, on both backing harmonies and percussion, and the UK's Sophie Kinston on electric violin, creates a live performance not to be missed.
