Sounds Like
a strange mix of all my influences, with that carolina twang
"If back in the early eighties Gillian Welch and Bonnie Raitt cornered Townes Van Zandt at a party, engaged in a massive love-in, and produced a female musical offspring, she might sound a little something like Seadar Rose."
"Rose’s music lives and breathes in the spaces she moves and travels. And although her brand of bellowing Southern twang may grow out of the North Carolina mountains and hills she was born and raised in, the words, and the raw, provocative, emotive power driving them, rise and grow out of the places she’s been since, like Jackson, Wyoming or Austin, Texas, as well as from the unmapped, unplanned journeys that still await her in the days, months, and years ahead."
Ryan Allen, author of Catch the Wind
"[Blow Away] a downbeat folk number, captures Welch’s haunting style but Rose adds the slurry delivery and guttural phrasing of a Nina Simone..."
Jake Nichols, Planet Jackson Hole
Note on above songs: This Demo was recorded with the fabulous Rich Brotherton (Robert Earl Keen) on lead guitar. Yeah, he makes them sound pretty great!
"Blow Away" live on KHOL 89.1 FM (Jackson) May 6, 2009
