May 2007 saw the release of Rosie Burgess's newest album - Humble Pie [MGM]. With national radio showing great support for the album it has been an exciting time for this passionate musician. Finishing up the year with the award of a Victoria Rocks Touring Grant, and a performance at the ecofriendly Peats Ridge Festival, Burgess has firmly secured a place for herself and her unique brand of urban folkroots music, in the Australian music scene.

As a young kid Rosie started writing poetry on scrap pieces of paper and then began to paste them into a book as the papers piled up. Nowadays she has a bookshelf full of these poems which she weaves into songs, providing intimate insights for her listeners into her unique view of the world.

Playing straight from the heart, Rosie keeps herself warm with her skillful rootsy guitar, harmonica and mandolin playing, singing up a storm everytime she takes the stage. Her music flows out - at times edgy and intense, at times raw and beautiful, it is always original and gripping.

"When you have heard rosie perform, you're sure to be tongue-tied trying to tell people how good she is..." says Dave Ritter, organiser of the Bruthen Festival of Blues and Arts.

Travelling all over Australia, Rosie has had the pleasure of playing along side some of Australia's finest musicians at our best festivals, including Ash Grunwald, Mia Dyson, Deborah Conway, Chris Wilson and Blue King Brown.

Rosie's quirky and original tunes are captivating audiences wherever she goes. Her high energy live shows and many live-to-air radio performances have secured her a growing fan base of acoustic roots and folk lovers around the globe.
