Biography

“With their first solo album in a decade, Sally Rose is getting back to their Americana roots. But don’t worry, they’re still a rock n’ roll riot grrrl at heart — and they're bringing some much needed queer femme representation to the world of country music” - RVA MAG. Sally Rose (they/them) is a country-queer songwriter, performer and activist native to Nelson County, Virginia. They grew up in a small, rural town listening to a broad spectrum of musical stylings, cutting their teeth young with a debut album at just 16 years old. Sally Rose has since released nine independent records. With an affinity for Stax era soul records, Dylan-esque lyrical imagery, and the big feelings of alt rock n rollers Wilco, Pixies, and Beck - Sally Rose’s songwriting has borrowed from a multiverse of genres. SR has spent the last 10 years sharpening their teeth touring with psych rock band Shagwüf, gaining attention from global publications like Spin Mag - “Shagwüf [is] arguably the best band ever to come out of Charlottesville”. Off stage, Sally Rose is a second degree black belt & founder of nonprofit Fight Like A GRRRL Club, where they teach self-defense to folx in need. Whurk Magazine says "Bassist, front woman, martial artist, and all-around badass, Sally Rose is a force to be reckoned with...With a flair for the dramatic and a killer roundhouse kick, Sally Rose is taking the Virginia music scene by storm." - Whurk Magazine
