Emerald Rose
Celtic American Folk Rock
“Like a deep belly laugh, there is an indescribable sense of liberation woven into the lyrics and music of Emerald Rose… The vocals of Brian Sullivan, Arthur Hinds, Larry Morris and Clyde Gilbert create a warm blend of traditional Irish and Scottish melody that leaves you raising your glass for more!”
--The Performing Artist Magazine
Emerald Rose is a high energy Celtic folk band from the North Georgia Mountains. The band has received international critical acclaim for their cd “Bending Tradition” and has developed a reputation for exciting live performances. The band’s tour highlights for 2001 included performances in Atlanta, Birmingham, and a tour of New York City venues. Their journey to Ground Zero last September was covered in special report by Atlanta’s 11 Alive News. The band performed at Roswell’s "Concert of the Square" series, at Atlanta Montreaux Music Festival and at DragonCon, the largest science-fiction/fantasy convention in the Southeast. They are regular performers at Eddie's Attic "Celtic Night" concert series and are featured monthly at the Harvest Café in Acworth, a new “concert café” favored by many local Celtic musicians. Emerald Rose is a co-producer with the Atlanta Celtic Festival Inc. of the popular “A Celtic Autumn Evening” concert series at Atlanta’s famed Variety Playhouse.
Emerald Rose creates a signature sound that is rousing and energetic. The band combines innovative arrangements of traditional Celtic tunes with original songs based on Celtic folklore and mythology. Four part harmonies combine with driving acoustic guitars, pennywhistles and world-beat percussion to produce a unique style that is popular with a diverse group of fans. Their repertoire includes classic Celtic favorites, fast-paced instrumentals and critically acclaimed original songs.
The group has twice been featured on Atlanta’s 11 Alive News “Wes Side Story”, hosted by news anchor Wes Sarginson. Reviews for their CD “Bending Traditions” have appeared in many publications, including Dirty Linen and Performing Artist magazines. Emerald Rose has received an Artist Endorsement from the prestigious Carvin music company.
Emerald Rose has an international Internet following, having surpassed 170,000 downloads in January of 2002. The band has twice achieved rankings on MP3.com’s Site Top 40, and numerous Top Twenty hits on MP3.com’s Celtic charts. In December of 2000, they scored a Number One hit on the site’s Spiritual Pop chart with the driving oracular chant “Freya, Shakti”. The band has received radio airplay throughout the United States, England, Ireland, Scotland and Australia.
