Caitlin Rose

Caitlin Rose will be playing at End Of The Road Festival 2010. Buy your tickets now!

Caitlin Rose is a twenty two year old singer/songwriter from Nashville, TN, who is spending more time recreating the songs of our past than most artists twice her age are able to do. Upon first listen, you might swear you’ve heard Caitlin’s music before. Perhaps in a smoky honky-tonk or a dimly lit dive bar where the waitresses are all named Wanda and the well drinks are only a dollar. Though this would simply be an auditory illusion, your first impression wouldn’t be far from the truth.

Caitlin Rose, though young, has learned from the “Queens of Country”, and she delivers her sonically seductive tunes with a set of pipes that would make Loretta herself proud.

Accompanied by instrumentation that harkens back to the likes of Gram Parson or Hank Williams, Rose performs songs that range from genuinely poignant ballads to tongue-in-cheek tales of teenage pregnancy and primate love. Sometimes sparse and naked, other times robust, her music is laid out as an offering before the Gods of Americana, Folk and Country music.

In a very short time Caitlin has caused a stir being called a “local star in the making” by The Nashville Scene and opening a five show run for Lori McKenna in Boston. Her initial pressing of 100 EPs specifically for those shows sold immediately. She has also performed with Justin Townes Earle, Bill Callahan, Holly Go Lightly and performed at the Austinist.com party at SXSW with Akron/Family, J Tillman, Elvis Perkins and more.

The Dead Flowers EP is a candid glimpse of Caitlin’s soul – one that truly may have been forged at the crossroads of Country and Western. Let Rock and Roll’s tambourine toting little sister into your heart.
