Shan Hooper Chris Coleman Rosie Burgess Trio

Sometimes its hard to fit people into boxes, and the Rosie Burgess Trio are no exception. Sliding from folk to blues to gypsy-roots and back, the trio crosses more genres than state borders, giving off "more energy than an illegally sparked firecracker" [Drum Media, Sydney]. With a third studio album, Leap, about to be released, the trio, featuring Sam Lohs (Fruit) on stomp box drums, and Sophie Kinston on electric violin, bring Burgess's unique brand of urban-folk to center stage in a collection of catchy harmonies and humor. The strong connection between the girls has seen them often mistaken for sisters, and whilst theyre regrettably not, there is no mistaking the joy they share on stage both together and with the audience. After an incredible couple of years on the road, the Rosie Burgess Trio have had the pleasure of sharing the bill with some of Australias finest artists, including Ash Grunwald, Mia Dyson, Bill Chambers, Deborah Conway and Blue King Brown, firmly securing a place for themselves as festival favorites across the country. The trios momentous touring schedule has taken them countless times around Australia and twice to North America in the last year. Sharing their passion for the road and adventure, alongside their love of music, the girls have won themselves an army of loyal fans across the globe.
