Upcoming JPR Live Sessions: The Rosa Lees | August 21st at Noon

JPR welcomes the Southern Oregon based, all-female bluegrass band, The Rosa Lees to the studio for a JPR Live Session on Thursday, August 21st at noon.

The Rosa Lees, showcase inventive instrumentation and tight harmonies with poignant lyrics. Their music draws a straight line between their own vision and pioneers like Hazel Dickens and Rose Maddox.

They’ve been touring hard this summer after the release last spring of their debut, Wake Up Call, with dates at the Columbia Gorge Bluegrass Festival and the Scott Valley Bluegrass Festival. They are performing at the Oregon Shakespeare Festivals Green Show on August 21st.

Hear them talk about their history and the making of Wake Up Call, and hear them perform live in the JPR, Steve Nelson Performance Studio.

Find more about the Rosa Lees at their website and find them on social media.

JPR Live Sessions are made possible with support from The Talent Club with live music and cold drinks in a casual atmosphere in downtown Talent, Oregon. Find their live music schedule at talentclublive.com
