KIND WORDS ABOUT 'BLUE MOON'

​

"Blue Rose Band shows their versatility and widescreen musical vision as they explore various corners of the Americana music genre from roots rock to modern folk on this album." - AMERICANA HIGHWAYS

​

"Blue Rose describes their sound as “new country with an old soul”—a sound that encapsulates “If I Had a Rose.” The lyrics, especially the hook, “Baby, what I gotta do?,” capture the timeless heartache of country crooners like Patsy Cline or Hank Williams. However, they add a guitar solo and instrumental break in the middle of the song, injecting the “old soul” with a new country flair." -  MUSIC MECCA 

​

"If country music is the lifeblood of America, then 'If I Had a Rose' is its purest essence. Blue Rose took a classic written by Adam Wright and performed by Kelly Willis and Bruce Robison, breathing new life into it without losing respect for the original. This isn’t an attempt to reinvent anything—it’s a tribute to a genre that defines a nation." INDIE BOULEVARD

​​

"Blue Rose's 'Let Me Love You' is a blues-tinged pop rock single that showcases the band's knack for warmth and melody. From the first few bars, the track wraps you in rich, soulful guitar licks and a vocal delivery that's both intimate and emotionally grounded. There's a charm in it's restraint, the bluesy undertones and smooth production lend it a sense of familiarity without feeling dated.  The chorus is catchy yet tender, inviting without overwhelming. 'Let me Love You' soley yearns for a dynamic shift throughout but invites its listener and hooks from the get-go!" - MUSIC FOR THE MISFITS

SHORT BIO​

​

Blending delicate yet strong vocals and edgy guitar riffs with introspective lyrics and ethereal textures, Blue Rose “shows their versatility and widescreen musical vision as they explore various corners of the Americana music genre from roots rock to modern folk.” (Americana Highways).  

 

Fronted by singer/songwriter, Jori Rose Griffith, the band compliments her soft femininity with grittiness. “I’ve been an extremely deep feeler and felt the need to express sensitivity through art (dance, visual, music) beginning at a very young age,” she says, “and I came to songwriting as a way to feel seen and to understand myself.”

 

In her midwestern hometown outside of Chicago, Illinois, Griffith taught herself guitar as a young teenager.

 

In 2022, Jori performed at an open mic that changed her life – led to the formation of ‘Blue Rose’ and meeting her songwriting partner (lead guitarist), Marcus Gebauer.  Together, and with their band Mike Gruber (keys), Nicholas Kapche (bass guitar), Mike DelPrincipe (drums) and Sean Shiel (steel guitar), they wrote and recorded their debut album ‘Blue Moon’ in under two years – a destination no one in the band could have planned.

 

Their album was recorded at Chicago’s Rax Trax Recording and produced, mixed and mastered by Noam Wallenberg (Vulfpeck, The Fearless Flyers, A$AP Rocky, Mac Miller, NEEDTOBREATHE).
