Susanna Rose. Singer-songwriter.

Hi! I'm Susanna Rose. I write poems and then I make them into songs. You can listen to them here. 

 

I lived in London the winter of 2009, and a friend started teaching me to play guitar. I was shy then. I had made songs since I had a voice but never considered  myself a "songwriter." "All you need to do," taught my friend, "is pick a few chords and write some words that rhyme."

 

Suddenly I had hope that I too could be an artist. The next winter I recorded my first album, The Wishing Well, at a friend's studio in Rochester, NY. At my first house show, I handed the album out for free in brown paper bags. Then I left for South Korea to teach English.

 

Nine years later I have many songs and stories to share. I've played shows throughout the Northeast and opened for nationally touring acts including Larry Campbell and Teresa Williams, Kevin Devine, Japanese Breakfast and many more.

 

Snowbound has received amazing reviews (see above) from the UK to my hometown. It's also currently receiving airplay on college stations throughout the U.S. and some BBC stations in the UK. In 2017 I released a new recording of The Wishing Well to positive local reviews - Jeff Spevak called it, "An intimate collection of songs...a haunting echo."

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. I hope my music resonates with you. Feel free to contact me.

 

Sincerely,

Susanna Rose
