biography
NASHVILLE'S TOP CRITICS SING ROSE'S PRAISES
"...of late, she's shifted her sound from literate, contemplative acoustic-ish hillbilly Americana (think LORETTA LYNN pondering HEMINGWAY, or something like that) into something louder, bluesier and WHOLLY ROCKIN' (think STEVE EARLE listening to the MARSHALL TUCKER BAND, while pondering LORETTA LYNN pondering HEMINGWAY, or something like that). Anyway, she's a wise little heart-slicer and she makes good music." -PETER COOPER, TENNESSEAN
"ROSE creates EAST TENNESSEE country-rock with a moonshine kick and a mountain poets knack for being fearless, colorful and right on target.
-NASHVILLE SCENE
"To say that ROSE creates acoustic folk-rock wouldn't capture the fire or emotional release in her driving arrangements and unflinching lyrics...ROSE is a mountain-raised EAST TENNESSEAN with a big voice who, instead of playing country-rock, rocks like only a country gal can." -MICHAEL MCCALL, NASHVILLE SCENE CRITIC'S PICK
“When compared to the dishonest, emotionless dreck belted out by most major-label country sirens, Rose's work has the potential to be as long-lasting and meaningful as EMMYLOU or PATSY." -CLAY STEAKLEY, THE RAGE
“…amazing…we've never seen such intensity and force summoned by a lone woman onstage with nothing more than an acoustic guitar. These songs gave everyone, most of all us, chills, because we knew we were hearing pure soul laid out before us, and that's so rare. We are not easily impressed by other musicians, since we love so many great musicians, our standards are high. And she absolutely floored us. Chelle Rose is something special.” –CREECH HOLLER
