Rosie Frater-Taylor is a virtuoso guitarist/vocalist and songwriter of remarkable emotional depth. On latest album Featherweight, Rosie seamlessly weaves rock, alt-pop, neo-soul, new-school jazz, and folk into her singular sound.
Drawing inspiration from icons like Joni Mitchell, Steely Dan, Pat Metheny, Kate Bush and a rock-infused roster including John Mayer, Meshell Ndegeocello and Madison Cunningham, Rosie’s music is a vibrant tapestry of influences, ’Featherweight’ has seen praise across the board from KCRW, BBC Radio 1, Radio 4, MOJO, Hi-Fi and Guitar World to Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page himself, with Jazzwise coining her “fiercely feminine”!
