ARTIST BIO
Banjo wielding songstress Corinna Rose will make your heart flutter and use its beat to
start a hoedown. Named after a traditional country-blues song and her greatgrandmother,
Rose was raised on folk. Rose crafts songs that push the boundaries of
the folk world, inspirations ranging from Kate & Anna McGarrigle to Abigail Washburn
and Sufjan Stevens. She captures the warmth joy and darkness of the tradition, yet
unabashedly uses crooked rhythms and jazz chords. Her unique banjo style combines
light bluegrass picking and finger style techniques. Hailing from Toronto, Rose now calls
Montreal home.
Rose has been touring across Canada and the US with autoharpist and dear friend
Leah Dolgoy for the past two years. They were first united after the passing of a mutual
friend in 2010, and have been musically inseparable ever since. After spending many
months at the John C. Campbell Folk School in North Carolina, Dolgoy has developed
an inventive, gentle and melodic autoharp style. Her playing and etherial harmonies
bring a warmth and dynamism to Rose's songs. Rose and Dolgoy have recorded and
released two acoustic live off the floor EPs, entitled The Wharf (2015) and B-Sides
(2013).
Rose's song, "Green Mountain State", co-written with the Rusty Horse Band, won the
2013 grand prize of the John Lennon Song Contest in the folk category. Rose has
played over 200 shows, has released four albums and has participated in various
festivals across Canada including the Montreal Folk Festival and The Campbell Bay
Music Festival. She has performed alongside artists such as Tim O'Brien (of Hot Rize),
Old Man Luedecke, Groenland, Peter Katz, and Marissa Nadler. She will be recording
her second full length album in the fall of 2015.
