Rose Morrison is an artist who embodies the roar of the sea with a pure and delicate voice, captivating audiences for nearly 25 years as a professional musician. Hailing from Baddeck, Nova Scotia, Canada, this versatile fiddler has carved out an impressive career. She has graced the stage of Carnegie Hall twice, most recently in March 2024 for a tribute to Sinead O'Connor and Shane MacGowan. Rose has also recorded three albums, toured extensively across North America, Europe, and Japan with the Cottars, and won three East Coast Music Awards.
Her latest album, The River She Knows, marks a significant evolution in her artistry, reflecting a newfound connection to her Cape Breton roots after living away for over a decade. While Rose has long been recognized for her fierce, untamed fiddle playing, she has also been quietly writing songs for years, though rarely performing them. This album showcases her as a songwriter, a role she embraced with the encouragement of award-winning singer-songwriter and producer Dave Gunning, who collaborated with her starting in November 2021. The first song they worked on, Let Our Love, a simple yet powerful ode to enduring love, was released as a single in February 2022 to popular and critical acclaim.
