"Mya Rose Band Releases 'Breaking Free'"

Mya Rose Band Releases “Breaking Free”

Mya Rose Band has just released “Breaking Free”, a collection of songs written, recorded, and produced by Mya Rose. The studio was built about a year ago and several of the songs were recorded on her sailboat, Risky Business, in the Ocracoke harbor. After mastering the equipment and recording this past winter, her third CD, a project of original songs, is available to the public.
“Springer’s Point” was written as she sat on the old artesian well across from Sam Jones’ grave and also includes the words to live by on his tombstone:
jumping over, climbing under
through the starlit trees.
on the path of recognition,
what i've seen in my dreams.
muddy feet, scraped up arms,
spirits guiding me.
i don't know much about this island,
except what they show me

i shall pass this way but once?any good therefore that i can do?let me do it now,?for i shall not pass this way again.
Several of the songs were written on Ocracoke, including “Springer’s Point” and “Each Wave”.
Local musicians on the CD include Nora Hartlaub – bass, Emily Devan – cello, Steve Magliano - harmonica/sax, Doug Leal - drums/percussion, and Caleb Jacobs - guitar/bass.
The Mya Rose Band has “soulful vocals backed by rockin' folk with bluesy harmonica and vibrant sax”. She sings and plays guitar from deep within her soul while striving to voice a difference, make others think, brighten someone’s day, and to use music as therapy.
Look for the Mya Rose Band every Monday at the Pelican and every Wednesday night at Open Mic at Mango Loco, both on Ocracoke.

Bio

Born Sept. 4, 1979, Mya Rose has been gigging around the world for 12 years.....been singing and writing music quite a bit longer....from huge stages to street corners, from Korea to England, California to North Carolina, she propels forward to get her music heard. So many amazing musicians/bands in and out of her life...never knowing what to expect, never knowing where she'll end up, her life turns into a song, and whoever is there at the moment will leave an impression on the story...

Mya Rose wrote, recorded, & produced her first solo album: 'breaking free.' Half of this CD was recorded on her 30' O'day, "Risky Business", and the music reflects this, the ocean and seagulls can be faintly heard in the back ground. Some of her songs are about living free on the tiny island of Ocracoke, others pose questions such as 'Do You Want LOVE? OR Do You Want MONEY?' She is currently working on her next album aboard her boat studio "Burnett Trilogy", a 30' Pearson, in the Ocracoke Harbor, while living out on the hook in the O'day.

Mya Rose, a full-time musician, has spent the last 3 years playing in the Outer Banks of NC. 2008 will be the last season spent on Ocracoke, and she will continue on with her husband, Bryan Gill, sailing and gigging from port to port from NC to wherever the wind blows. You can hear some of her tunes on 99.1 'the sound', a radio station based in Wanchese, NC, and random independent radio and internet stations around the world.

Her music is described as 'soulful vocals backed by rockin' folk with a hint of country'. All performances include original music and some covers, including: Woody Guthrie, Johnny Cash, John Prine, Jimmy Buffet, Bob Marley, Steve Miller Band, Ella Fitzgerald, Gratefull Dead, Janis Joplin, ect. Her vocals and guitar playing comes from deep within her soul. She strives to voice a difference, while her lyrics tease the conscience, make listeners think, smile, laugh and dance. She challenges everyone to be the best that they can be. Imagine this world if everyone believed in themselves and offered their gifts to the world? Make a difference!!

Mya Rose is available for solo performances, hosting open mics, and hiring others to accompany her. CD's are available at www.myaroseband.com
