The Rosa Lees at Skout Taphouse

The Rosa Lees are an all-gal bluegrass band that have begun to make a name for themselves in the Northwest bluegrass scene. They trace a distinct line between their music and the vision of female bluegrass pioneers such as Hazel Dickens, Alice Gerrard, Rose Maddox, and beyond.

At the forefront of their music lies an emphasis on closely blended harmonies, hard-charging rhythms, and lyrically potent songs. Their repertoire mingles elements of traditional bluegrass with traces of old-time fiddle and banjo tunes, classic country, old-world Celtic music, and gospel. They prioritize songs with meaning and a strong turn of phrase, working to fuse all these ingredients into the original songs that punctuate their sets.
Audiences consistently rave about the distinct blend of their vocal harmonies and instrumental acuity, not to mention their playful on-stage demeanor.

The Rosa Lees are: Rachel Buklad on banjo and fiddle, Jessie Monter on fiddle, Holly Hurley on bass and lead vocals, and Bekkah McAlvage on guitar and lead vocals.
