"The Year's Best"

#5. Shannon Rose & The Thorns - Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall EPs

This one's a cheat on my part. Shannon Rose & The Thorns have put out 4 EPs this year, and I decided to pretend that they are just one full-length record and put it on this list. Sue me. Those EPs are just so damn good!

Folky/country influences come through loud and clear on these marvels, combining to make a release that's way better than the average independent folk record. Seriously, singer/songwriters are a dime a dozen, but Shannon Rose is above most of the ones I've heard. Extra points given for being from Ottawa, hometown pride!

Key tracks: My Heart, Under the Moon. Note: "Wild Wind" is also an amazing track from the Spring EP, and we played it back on BUP28. Go get it! - Bloody Underrated

"Shannon Rose and her Thorns"

Ottawa bandleader Shannon Rose is a fine songwriter. Her carefully etched vignettes start from that well-worn path (love land) and spiral out into pretty melodies that put her achy, parched vocals front and centre. She puts her songs to a folk-pop bed, which is played by her band The Thorns (get it?).

She released her debut disc, Sing Me A Song, in 2008 and will launch a string of seasonal works this weekend. The first is a five-song EP called Winter.

“These EPs will allow me to be busy with music all year,” Rose says. “I love every aspect of being a musician, and releasing a new album every three months will keep me in a happy loop of writing, rehearsing, recording and performing.”

The EPs feature the talents of Ottawa musicians Steve Matylewicz (guitar), Dean Watson (bass), Tim Watson (drums), Michael Schultz (horns and piano), Adam Fogo (strings), and Stuart Lee (strings). Both the lyrics and the melodies resonate with the theme of winter.

“The seasons are all so different and they all have different feelings associated with them,” Rose says. “Winter is cozy and pretty and magical, but also a little lonely and reflective, and I wanted some of that to be captured in the songs.”

"The four seasons - Shannon Rose sings you a new song"

by Allan Wigney

The snow begins to fall early on Shannon Rose’s Winter EP. As early as the first line of the first song, in fact.

“I have watched the snow falling for hours,” a forlorn Rose gently croons in a hushed minor-key waltz.

It’s one of five suitably seasonal songs on Winter, an EP that has been a long time coming. It’s been three years since the Pembroke-raised vocalist arrived on the big city music scene with a full-length called Sing Me a Song. The album brimmed with the confidence of a new voice on the local scene. Behind the voice, however, Rose had doubts.

“I took a year off just to figure out whether I even wanted to be a singer,” Rose reveals. “I had never been comfortable on stage; I’m really shy. We’d done a few shows, and I just wasn’t feeling very confident. But after a year the itch was still there — and getting bigger. I thought, ‘There has to be a way I can do this.’”

The solution, arrived at with the support of husband and guitarist Steve Matylewicz and bandmates Tim and Dean Watson, involved a busy rehearsal schedule and a new approach to recording the successor to Sing Me a Song.

“I had a whole bunch of songs,” she explains, “and I’ve noticed a lot of artists are releasing EPs rather than albums. So that seemed like the thing to do, but after all this time I didn’t want to just have five songs to show for it.”

The solution begins with Winter, an EP of contemplative songs written during the season. (Give or take a few days: “Oh No was written at the end of the fall, but pretty close.") Three additional EPs will follow, one for each of the four seasons. Rose is considering rounding out the year with a fifth release, compiling all four EPs.

“I want to use songs written in the season,” she says of her plan for the remainder of a crowded 2011 release schedule. “I want to see how they shape up against each other. For the last album, I just played a bunch of my new songs. It was fun this time to consider songs thematically — to use songs that might not otherwise see the light of day.”

Fun has also been had, she says, at recent Shannon Rose and the Thorns shows.

“It’s much better now that I know I really want to do this,” Rose states. “I’m nervous still, but in the fun way you’re supposed to be.” - The Wig


"Gallery Sessions"

Gallery Sessions

The Sounds of Spring live CD features performances by Ashley Newall, Dave Norris, Meredith Luce & The Mandates, Ana Miura, David Gaudet, Andrea Simms-Karp and Shannon Rose & The Thorns.

Each band performed at The Ecclesiax Church in the Glebe last year. The tracks were recorded by Dean Watson and helmed at his Gallery Studios, in the basement of the church. The idea originated as part of the

Ottawa Music Coalition, a scene-building initiative by Ottawa Folk Festival director Chris White. The CD is funded by a city grant.

Rose's tune Say Something is part of the disc. It's off her 2008 independent release Sing Me A Song. That album was full of pretty, uncluttered melodies sung with a voice that is at times whispery and wanting.

Her new tunes are folkier, reflecting her recent performances.

"Steve (Matylewicz, guitar player) and I did a bunch of shows, just the two of us, which made the songs a bit smaller," she says. "I started thinking of playing them in those smaller environments and my writing started to reflect that."

Listen for more fingerpicking on her song Drive-In. (Nothing's changing, everything is just the way it's ever been/As one backs out, another's driving in.)

Balancing creative pursuits with nine-to-fiveness are the themes that will occupy her next release, the songs of which are still being selected. "It's about figuring out where you are in your life," she says.

Look for the Sounds of Spring CD at the Ottawa Folklore Centre, Compact Music and Vertigo.

Rose will perform at the Sounds of Spring CD release along with the other featured artists (except Miura and Gaudet) Sunday at the Black Sheep Inn (753 Riverside Dr., Wakefield). All ages, 4 p.m., $7.

"Sophisticated Songstress Feels 'like my life is a musical'"

Sophisticated songstress feels ‘like my life is a musical’

By KIM MANNIX VERMETTE
for Metro Ottawa

There is something about
Shannon Rose that can instantly
put you at ease. Whether it’s listening to her soothing voice sing line after catchy line on her debut CD Sing Me a Song, watching her quiet, confident way on stage, or having an effortless weekend chat
with her over coffee, most everything about her seems natural
and likeable.
“Yes, people have told me there
is something calming about my sound and some of my friends
say their babies really like my
CD,” the singer-songwriter says
with a soft laugh.
“I have always admired artists
with a conversational tone to
their music, and I think I have
that as well. I never want there to
be anything pretentious about
my music or on stage.”
You might think that Rose’s
quiet confidence comes from
years of honing her songwriting
skills, and labouring in indie
bands, but the Pembroke native
didn’t start playing the guitar
until a few years ago, and wasn’t
able to fully adopt the singer-songwriter label until last year.
She is still modest about her
guitar abilities, passing the
compliments in that department
off to her husband and bandmate
Steve Matylewicz, but she says
she’s been a music fan her
entire life.
“I am the kind of person who I
think just has the melodies living
there inside me, and so I am
always singing — while I am
doing the dishes, or walking
down the street,” she says. “I
kind of feel like my life is a musical
and I can break into song at
any moment.”
She’s an admitted perfectionist,
and said at the last possible moment she found herself rerecording the vocals for several
songs on her nine-track CD, just
to make sure they were the best
they could be.
She’s also full of praise for The
Thorns, the group of backing
musicians who have supported
her since her first foray into performing and also helped shape
her album.
Along with Matylewicz, Rose
gets support from bass player
Ashley Newall, drummers Tim
Watson and Phil Bova, Mike
Schultz on horns and Adam Fogo
on bass and strings.
Bova was also the album’s
producer, and notes that Rose
has “written a collection of very
heartfelt songs and she sings
them in a most seductive way.”
It’s a charming kind of seduction
that isn’t forced or overt, but definitely easy on the ears.

« I am the kind of person
who I think just has the
melodies living there inside
me, and so I am always
singing – while I am doing
the dishes, or walking down
the street. »

Daily Disc: Shannon Rose & the Thorns, Sing Me A Song

Sing Me A Song,
Shannon Rose & the Thorns
Independent

Fans of the pleasantly languid side of Sarah Harmer and the new soul trend ignited by Mark Ronson’s work will appreciate Shannon Rose, an Ottawa singer-songwriter who appears at home in both worlds. Rose has a seductive, smoky voice and an ear for textured songs in the style of New Bohemians or Laura Veirs. The themes of her songs cover familiar, heart-to-heart territory, but the sincerity is clear. Importantly, the Thorns play the role of an accomplished backing band with a variety of talents, and add brass parts to inject extra character into such songs as Florida Sky and Sing Me a Song.

"Shy Rose Reveals All On Stage"

Shy Rose reveals all onstage

Fateema Sayani , The Ottawa Citizen

Published: Thursday, March 27, 2008

Soul-baring revelations don't come readily to Shannon Rose. Quiet, uncomfortable and terribly shy in person, the Ottawa bandleader saves it all for the stage.

When performing songs from her newly pressed debut full-length called Sing Me A Song, the words come tumbling out. Her carefully etched little vignettes start from that well-worn territory -- love land -- and spiral out into pretty little uncluttered melodies that put her whispery-to-wincing-to-wanting vocals front and centre. She's a little bit Wild Strawberries and a little bit Weeping Tile with a dub-soul tinge.

Together for a year with a backing band that consists of most of the '90s dance band Gammahoochee, Rose has paid her stage dues playing for nearly no one in Kingston (and to the sound of delayed, sympathetic claps), when trying to transcend the fairground atmosphere at the Ex and when the power went out during the first song at a benefit she played for the Immigrant Women Services Ottawa.

With the big blunders under her belt -- plus a few primo gigs opening for east coast belles Jenn Grant and Rebekah Higgs -- Rose is ready for her big outing.

She came to music after a friend gave her a guitar during a period of floundering. She eventually finished an English lit degree at York and returned to Ottawa, where she started to pursue songwriting with husband and bandmate Steve Matylewicz. As music and lyrics came to her, she'd tape the bit parts on recorders or into her voicemail box, gathering the scraps to make songs. Two self-recorded EPs made for friends gave her the chance to cement a sound with brass, keys and bowed bass. A skilled band of Ashley Newall (bass), Phil Bova (drums), Mike Schultz (horn, Wurlitzer) and Adam Fogo (strings) make those inward, live-in-your-head lyrics grip with the listener.

"Once you start performing, it's kind of addictive," Rose says. "It's still not my first love. I tend to be self-critical and when it's over, I think I could've done better and that feeling of wanting to improve makes me want to do it again."

Shannon Rose's CD release party takes place Saturday at Zaphod Beeblebrox, 27 York St., with Brian Simms. 9p.m., $10

"This Rose In Full Bloom"

This Rose in full bloom

Shannon Rose, March 29 at Zaphod's

By ALLAN WIGNEY, SUN MEDIA

Seated in the window of a Lowertown coffeeshop, Shannon Rose nervously reveals she is still new to the self-promotion game, preferring to leave that end of the music biz to her husband and lead guitarist Steve Matylewicz.

"I tried to take on the business side of things for a couple of days," she says, "and it was a disaster. I couldn't deal with the rejection."

In conversation, the Pembroke native is refreshingly forthcoming, relating her life story in explicit detail. Her first song, Tiger Eyes, she says, was penned when the music lover was seven.

In junior high, Rose and a friend formed a rap duo and rhymed of such then-fashionable (and, God help us, again fashionable) matters as "Tiffany, Wilson Phillips and pointy shoes."

Later, she says, the budding songwriter mastered but two songs on guitar -- Last Dance with Mary Jane and Everybody Hurts.

All of which is, again, refreshing -- if in need of some fast-forwarding. Enter Matylewicz, with whose encouragement Rose braved an open-mic night or two, brushed up on her guitar skills and began putting an English-lit degree to use writing songs of love and loss now captured on a debut CD, Sing Me a Song, credited to Shannon Rose and the Thorns.

And just who are The Thorns, you ask?

"It's sort of been whoever can make it," Rose says of the flexible lineup, which Saturday will of course include Matylewicz as well as Tim Watson and Ashley Newall. The band's sound, regardless of lineup, is a decidedly restrained affair, putting melody above flashy embellishment.

It is, Thorn suggests, "not easy listening, but easy to listen to."

And, with each performance, it's music that like its composer is gaining confidence.

"I think my songs are good songs," Rose says. "I'm happy with them. I wasn't sure about doing the album, but once we were finished I wanted to do another one. But Steve reminded me I should promote this one first."

"Ottawa's Rose between Thorns"

March 27th, 2008
Shannon Rose and The Thorns

Ottawa's rose between thorns
Steve Baylin

Sing Me a Song: An iron fist in a velvet glove

"You think I'm playing too rough/ I could take you by the scruff but I won't," warns the whisper cool voice of Shannon Rose, digging into the sleek, slow-burning old school soul of Good Enough with an icy resilience worthy of Nina Simone.

The poised songstress, consumed by more than a fleeting flicker of self-doubt, looks inward and finds temptation giving way to contrition. Recoiling in a moment of personal remorse, she serves up the clincher: "Maybe I'm soft underneath/ maybe I'm weak in the knees/ maybe I'm whispering please in the dark."

Rose, the de facto heart and soul behind the rhythmic pop fusion of The Thorns, is by turns vulnerable and naive, streetwise and downright seductive, sometimes all in the same song. It's an elusive, occasionally ambiguous quality - dangerous and impulsive one second, timid and innocent the next - that comes to define the warm, sonic purr of her resplendent debut Sing Me a Song. Its sweet acoustic lustre owes as much to Joni Mitchell, Stevie Wonder and The Beatles as it does to Morcheeba, Belle & Sebastian and Eleni Mandell.

"I certainly don't want to paint myself into a corner," says the soft-spoken Rose of her creative intent. A York English grad, she spent the bulk of her time searching for a sense of direction, "working odd jobs," studying photography and dusting off art history, before being completely swept away by the transformative power of a donated six-string.

"I really love all different sorts of music, from India Arie and Sarah

Harmer to country, gospel and soul dance music. I find that anything that you really identify strongly with, if it works inside of you, it'll come across."

And to ensure it would indeed "come across" in grand sonic fashion, Rose enlisted a host of like-minded friends: Husband/ guitarist Steve Matylewicz (lately of jazz funk merchants Gammahoochee), a couple of Lure rhythmatists - Adam Fogo (bass) and Tim Watson (drums) - and a pair of Hilotrons in Mike Schultz (keys/horns) and Philip Shaw Bova (drums) "expand and add a certain lushness to the proceedings."

"They're really respectful of what I do," explains Rose, whose only stipulation during the recording session was to make sure it all developed "in a real natural way."

"All the musicians were very in-the-moment, just playing, humming lines, going with whatever felt right and instinctive. I don't often have any preconceived direction, which sometimes, I think, is irritating to the guys. But I know it's right and true when we get to that moment. And they've always brought the songs to that moment."

"Feature // Shannon Rose and the Thorns"

I’ve always had a special place in my heart and musical repertoire for indie/folk female musicians from Canada. From Sarah Harmer to Emily Hanes, from Katie Stelmanis of Austra to Beatrice Martin of Coeur de Pirate… heck, I even have a stupendous crush on Amy Cole from the Rural Alberta Advantage (the secret is out!). So to have a request for a review from another folky (soon to be cornerstone) female of the Canadian music scene is not only a pleasure, but also an honour.

Shannon Rose and the Thorns typify what great song writing and performing are all about. Taking inspiration from what animates you is a sure-fire way to success and Shannon Rose and the Thorns have undoubtedly found that success. Residing in Eastern Ontario, Shannon Rose and the Thorns have released four individual EP’s imbued with reflections from each of the four seasons. When listening… or should I say indulging, to each of her four seasonal EP’s I’m taken away. It could be the dead of summer but when I hear her Winter EP I get the chills. It could be the break of Spring and listening to her Fall EP I somehow feel more sombre than hopeful. Shannon Rose has done an exceptional job of taking a passion for her environs and translating it into something beautiful, something defined, and something spirited.

As a rule I tend to like music most from artists who are clearly passionate about what they do. Not only does Shannon’s music feel passionate… it oozes it. Every note, every lyric… everything about her sound is pure feeling, pure experience.

Now, as per most reviews, I should be sitting here writing to you about the technical aspects of her music; telling you about how narratively coherent Shannon’s work stands, or about how through-composed her whole work is, softly departing and returning just like the seasons. I could tell you that her music is entirely emotive, grounded and smooth in character, not to mention the delicate, ephemeral quality of Shannon’s voice, and the exceptional clarity of the vocal and instrumental performances on the EP’s… but I’d almost rather just put on her collection of seasonal EP’s and drift away.

Enchanting, embracing, and eagerly eloquent: this is Shannon Rose and the Thorns.

"Shannon Rose and the Thorns: Smooth Sounds of the Seasons"

I’d like to introduce you to Shannon Rose. She is a fantastic singer-songwriter, and has a way of transporting the listener to another, calmer place. I say that because I first played one of her songs for my son, when he was about 3 months old. He immediately stopped being fussy and just listened. If her music could calm that savage baby beast, I suspect it will help you reduce your stress on any given day. Shannon, if you’re reading this, I want to thank you again!


Shannon had a very busy year in 2011. She released 4 EPs, each with a seasonal theme. 20 songs total, all can be heard at her website. For this inaugural episode of The Capital Revue, you can hear one of her Spring songs, Wild Wind.

I asked her what inspired the song, and she had this to say:

“I wrote Wild Wind on a night in early spring. The wind was very gusty that night – probably close to 90 km/hr. As I was writing, the words “little one” and “wild wind” stood out, and the rest of the song came from the idea of feeling vulnerable against the forces of nature. It’s a song about being strong and not letting yourself feel frightened when it seems like life is beating you up. It was self-comforting when I started writing, but I’ve held others in mind when I’ve sung it since then.”

"Pembroke Daily Observer"

Singer, songwriter returns home for performance;
Posted By ANTHONY DIXON, STAFF WRITER


Budding Canadian singer-songwriter Shannon Rose is coming home to Pembroke for a performance.

Currently based in Ottawa, Ms. Rose has been performing her indie folk-pop material for the past year with The Thorns.

When she performs at Café Ole on July 19 at 8 p. m. with her husband Steve Matylewicz and Dave Norris, it will be the first time she has played live in Pembroke.

"I'm not really nervous to play in Pembroke, I'm excited," Ms. Rose said. "There will be a lot of friends there and family. It's going to be alright."

Ms. Rose is the daughter of Mike and Darlene Rose of Pembroke.

She attended Bishop Smith Catholic High School before studying photography at Algonquin College in Ottawa.

She then earned her degree in English at York University before returning to Ottawa.

Ms. Rose said she always loved to sing, but didn't have any musical training that led her towards a musical career.

In fact, she said many of her high school friends were in bands but she was too shy at the time to sing with them.

When she met Steve Matylewicz, the man who would become her husband, everything changed.

He was a musician, played in a band, and lived surrounded by recording equipment.

"I started thinking of doing a gift for a friend and I thought I'd write her a song. I used my husband's recording equipment to record it and I haven't stopped writing songs," she said.

These days, she always has melodies in her head and lyrics she needs to write down.

"I call my answering machine and leave song ideas and I write all the time. At work I'm always humming to myself," she said.

Shannon Rose and the Thorns released their first CD "Sing Me A Song" earlier this spring.

Ms. Rose said it features a lot of love songs and heartbreak songs.

"Now that I'm married, I've been writing a lot of new songs from a broader spectrum. My subject matter is changing. It's becoming a lot more philosophical and a lot less love-centric," she said.

Ms. Rose said she hopes to tour a bit more this fall and promote her first CD but at the same time, she is excited to record some of her new songs.

She hopes to release a second CD in another year or so.

"I'm excited about the CD but I'm excited about my new songs so I'm anxious to record them and do another album," she said.

Some of the new songs will be performed when she plays at Café Ole.

Bio

Shannon Rose enjoys the quiet life - reading, Scrabble, and tea. It’s on stage that she really opens up with her soulful Canadian folk-pop.

After graduating with an English degree in Toronto, Shannon moved to Ottawa with her guitarist husband Steve Matylewicz. In 2008 she enlisted the help of musician friends, the Thorns, to bring her early bedroom demos to life on stage, and on her 2008 album Sing Me a Song, hailed as a "resplendent debut" (Ottawa XPress).

Over the past year Shannon Rose & the Thorns have been very busy recording and releasing four five-song EPs inspired by the Canadian seasons. They received funding from the City of Ottawa for the project, and have just finished a successful crowd-funding campaign to turn those EPs into a full-length double CD, entitled Seasons.

Shannon has been featured on CBC's Bandwidth, landed showcases at the 2012 NXNE festival and the Canadian Tulip Festival, and shared the stage with great artists like JUNO nominees Jenn Grant and Peter Katz. She has been interviewed and receives regular airplay on CBC radio and university radio stations. Her music has been added to year-end lists, and best-of Ottawa compilations, and has been receiving great reviews. Her new album was released to a sold-out crowd at the Black Sheep Inn in January.

Shannon Rose & the Thorns are currently booking a tour in support of their Seasons double CD, have just released a new music video, and have begun writing and rehearsing a new full-length album, due out in 2013 with the financial support of the Ontario Arts Council.
