Katie Rose
 California
native Katie Rose makes her presence known
with a unique blend of rock, country, and
more on her debut album Carry On.
This inspirational collection showcases the
diverse background and eclectic tastes of
the budding singer-songwriter, with eight of
ten songs written by the artist exclusively
for this brand new release. With a unique
sound that will appeal to fans of everyone
from Sheryl Crow to Norah Jones, this bold
album carries throughout the inescapable
strength and skill of one of today’s most
talented and versatile new voices.
Katie’s musical journey began early. By the
age of ten, she had performed with Children
Of the World, sharing the stage with the
likes of Liza Minelli and Elizabeth Taylor.
Since then, she has dabbled in virtually
every form of vocal performance, from
musical theater to choral and classical.
As a student at Franciscan University in
Ohio, Katie’s songwriting has come to
intertwine art and faith, expressing her
readily apparent love of beauty in music and
religion. Her songs speak to the healing,
inspirational, and joyful nature of a deeply
held faith.
About
Carry On:
What this album reveals upon first listen is
the apparent ease with which Katie moves
from one genre to another, mixing in a
little bit of everything before she's
finished.
Upbeat rockers like
Carry On
and
Junction Song
feature the talented guitar of Mike Ofca,
lead guitarist of Backyard Galaxy and
producer/engineer of
Carry On.
More mellow, but no less focused, are what
Katie calls her "chill out" selections,
including
You Take Me Away,
a song based on personal experiences of love
and joy - much like most of the album. But
just when you think you've got a handle on
where she's headed, along comes
Stories,
a jazz-piano piece that turns a corner on
this album and shines with an intense but
thoughtful spirituality. Rounded out by an a
cappella four-part rendition of
Ave Maris Stella,
the Nashville-inspired
That's Why,
and a funky re-envisioning of
Psalm 91,
Carry On
leaves the listener with the sense of a
spiritual journey hidden in a polished and
enjoyable
pop-rock-jazz-and-everything-in-between
record.
