Biography
Rosella is the product of five individual musical experiences. Formed in 2006, their music is the audible testament of the band's singular vision– original and honest rock. They were awarded Best Cleveland Rock Band by Cleveland Free Times and have been praised by BuzzBin Magazine.
The band’s upcoming album was produced by Jim Wirt (Incubus, Jack’s Mannequin, Hoobastank) and maintains a universally raw and personal feel driven by melodic vocals, bold rhythm guitars, & well-crafted bass chords emphasized by unyielding drums.
Live, Rosella maintains the integrity of their recordings. It is this commitment, as well as their commanding and relentless stage presence that is contributing to their continuously growing fan base. They have also been invited to share the stage with artists such as PARAMORE, CREED, O.A.R, & AUGUSTANA. As Rosella continues to demonstrate their talent and potential; it’s only a matter of time until the rest of the world catches up.
