Folk at its core and endowed with a great affection for detail, the Montreal-based band « Rosier » evolves gracefully without following the prescribed recipe of its era. Halfway between tradition and modernity, « Rosier » takes over an audacious approach where traditional songs become the intimate accomplice of well-crafted indie-folk-pop-rock music. Their direction: one where the unheard meets the existing, and stories passed down from generation to generation are rejuvenated with a contemporary twist.
With a compelling collection of music, 2 Canadian Folk Music Awards nominations (Folk Album of the Year, Pushing the Boundaries Award), over 2 million streams and ten years active as a band, the bilingual and mostly feminine band march to the beat of their own drum: alternating between both French and English languages, touring worldwide and between acoustic and electric soundscapes.
They have toured locally and internationally. Some of their notable performances include: the Folk Alliance International (USA); New Colossus Festival (USA); Coup de coeur francophone (Canada); Edmonton Folk Festival (Canada); TSB Festival Of Lights (New Zealand); Rocky Mountain Folks Festival (USA); Port Fairy Folk Festival (Australia); Tonder Folk Festival (Denmark); Festival Pause-Guitare (France); Bardentreffen Festival (Germany); Itinerari Folk Festival (Italy); Bromyard Folk Festival (UK) and the Jeux de la Francophonie (Abidjan, Ivory Coast).
Introducing Caitlyn O’Brien (She/Her/Hers), a Cambridge-based singer-songwriter, musician, producer, and DJ.
Caitlyn became dedicated to her exploration of music and musical community starting with studying classical voice at a young age, and later, getting involved in her local music community performing in original projects, bands and studio sessions.
She has only just recently started publicly writing and producing her own music under the name Kit Orion with her first EP released in February of 2021.
The majority of the songs from her self-titled EP and upcoming record “Bottle Grin” scheduled for release in October of 2024, were written as responses to personal loss and exploration of self, through prompts given in a songwriting club led by dear friend and collaborator, Jessica Kion (Justice Cow).
The creation of the album, “Bottle Grin”, strived to sonically collage her self-produced bedroom soundscapes to the live musical contributions of friends and collaborators in the studio.
Like Honey, the first single to be released from the new record, was released on 8/1/24, and is available to stream in all of the listening places.
