ROSEMARY

"Rosemary's originality and authentic execution of unique modern music is a step in the direction that alternative music will likely soon be taking. Her laid-back, casual yet diverse approach to recorded music has potential [to] be of popularity among the next generation of the independent music circuit." - Independent Nashville



"Rosemary is likened to the Breeders. And that’s true, to an extent. She has their tenacity, rawness, and quick melodic vocal delivery. Her songs however lack the brash distorted intensity that the one-hit wonder “Cannonball” female-led group had. Instead the music is more cerebral and sublime, often finding a place to stretch out and lay waste to whatever is holding you down." - J-Sin, Smother Magazine

ROSEMARY has been playing music since age 13. Having grown up in Nashville, TN, she has had the fortune of playing out in local clubs and venues for some time now. She has been involved with numerous musical projects, (Andy Bodean and the Bottom Boys, Communist, Tim Chad and Sherry, Ultra Vulgar, Flyaway Minion, and E-banditos, to name a few). Many of these can be found and downloaded through Black Label Empire (www.blacklabelempire.com).ROSEMARY partnered up with master engineer Patrick Himes (who has numerous credits and accolades to his name, including asst. engineer of Ryan Adam's "Heartbreaker") back in 2003. They began working on numerous singles and other projects. The two continue to record together at every possible opportunity. At the moment, BLE has two singles and one short EP available for purchase, respectively titled "The Floater," "Cha-Cha in Your Ear," and "The Fabulous Life Of..." There is also has a video for "Altazar" from "The Fabulous Life Of...EP."

ROSEMARY and Patrick tackle everything together on the recordings they produce. Generally, speaking, ROSEMARY writes all lyrics and music, initially. Patrick then comes behind her and "cleans up [her] mess," as ROSEMARY puts it. For the most part, all parts are played by both She and Patrick, with the occasional guest appearance. The two do everything themselves, including writing, recording, engineering, producing, etc.

ROSEMARY was recently chosen as an editor's pick from Downloads.com, and has received several other picks and reviews from various online indie radio sites. Most recently, ROSEMARY graduated from the internationally known SAE Institute, formerly known as School of Audio Engineering, founded by Tom Misner. This new acheivement will undoubtedly only enhance her already noteworthy talents.
