Kat Rose Band
KatRose is warm, openhearted and honest with a sound that lies somewhere between acoustic folk, rock, soul and gospel. Her performances convey her passion for life and her love of live music. The great female singer/songwriters such as Emily Saliers, Amy Ray, Caroline Aiken, Terri Hendrix and countless others have strongly influenced KatRose not only in music, but also in her philosophies of life itself and the world around her. KatRose has honed her skills around the campfires at Kerrville, performances and jams around the country.
As a prolific songwriter, KatRose paints sequences of vivid and passionate stories. From personal tales, growing up in a south Texas border town, powerful and sometimes disturbing lyrics on social issues or pure emotion on her journeys into romance and passion, KatRose absorbs the listener as she creates her canvas of musical images.
