Emotive songstress, Deborah Rose has recently toured with folk legend Judy Collins and opened the Big Top Stage at the Isle of Wight Festival alongside Neil Young, Razorlight and the Stereophonics. She has also performed with Ralph Mctell, Julie Felix, Boo Hewerdine, Kenny White and Thea Gilmore.

Her timeless, captivating voice and poignant songwriting pays homage to the honesty and nostalgia of Laurel Canyon spiced with the mystic energy gained from her Welsh roots.

Deborah's debut album will be released later this year, and will include an unrecorded poem by Deborah's greatest inspiration, Eva Cassidy and a recording of "The Rose" with the Aber Valley Welsh Male Voice Choir. Eva's brother Dan Cassidy appears as a guest on the album playing violin. "Song Be My Soul" - the title of the album - is a piece of music that fuses original, heartfelt words with Welsh folk song Calon Lan. It was composed by Deborah Rose and Musical Director for classical group 'Blake' Martin Riley and sets the tone for the rest of this beautiful classic folk album. 

Deborah recently graduated from Bath University with a Masters Degree in Songwriting and is completing a Masters in English Literature at The University of Worcester. Inspired by her studies and her love of literature she is also recording an album featuring the works of some of the world's most gifted poetic minds - Shakespeare, Tennyson, Dickens, Blake and Christina Rossetti amongst other original, self penned classics.

With her pure, versatile voice Deborah is soon to appear as a guest with Dan Cassidy's Swing Quartet on his UK Tour, with performances in 2012 with the Tom Hill Blues Trio and jazz virtuoso guitarist Remi Harris. Deborah is the music host at The Tarc Gallery located in the Teme Valley, Worcestershire and offers music therapy to those suffering with dementia and at hospices in the West Midlands and in Wales.
