SoundCellar & Swanage Jazz Festival present Rosie Frater-Taylor

After a recent sold-out gig with her trio at SoundCellar Poole, we are delighted to offer a solo performance by rising star Rosie Frater-Taylor in the Studio at The Mowlem. Rosie is not only a fast-emerging singer-songwriter but also widely regarded as a virtuoso guitarist and a vocalist with a powerful emotional range and depth.

Her current album Featherweight deftly blurs the boundaries between rock, alt-pop, neo-soul, new-school jazz, and folk. Drawing influence from the likes of Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush, and Becca Stevens to the rockier roster – where John Mayer, Meshell Ndegeocello, and Madison Cunningham hold court – Featherweight asserts an emotional musical maturity and a vast selection of sound-worlds, all tied together by Rosie’s trademark songwriting, guitar, and vocal style.

“A gnarly rock foundation heightened by nuanced jazz chords and folk-style finger-picking. Astonishingly mature album for one so young.” — MOJO Magazine

Rosie independently released and produced her sophomore album Bloom in 2021. This garnered in excess of three million streams, was nominated at Giles Peterson’s Worldwide Awards, and took Rosie and her trio across the UK and Europe for over 60 live shows. This included performances on the main stage at We Out Here festival, at the Barbican for International Women’s Day, and several shows supporting Madison Cunningham.

“Simply riveting. Combining a jazz-infused guitar-meets-vocal vamping style with an indie-rock approach, Rosie Frater-Taylor is like no other guitarist today.” — Guitar Player Magazine
