The story so far
Rosalee Thistlewood writes country songs the old way, with three chords, a true story and somebody to blame, then plays them loud enough for the back of the dancehall. She learned guitar on her granddad's porch and learned crowds on a Tuesday-night residency at a roadhouse with a busted jukebox.
Her debut album, Vacancy on Route 9, was cut live to tape in four days with a pedal steel, a fiddle and a band that had never played together before the first take. It is a record about motel signs, long drives and the people you leave the porch light on for.
Snapshots from the road
Word around town
“A voice built for dancehalls and long drives home.”
“Classic country bones with a modern heart.”
“Every chorus sounds like a neon sign coming on.”
Booking & business
Bookings, press, radio or just to say howdy: drop a line and it gets read.
