Rose Kemp is an English singer and guitarist who performs in a variety of genres.

Personal details

Rose was born in Carlisle on 11th December 1984. Her parents are Maddy Prior and Rick Kemp of the folk-rock band Steeleye Span. After spells living in Oxford and London, she now resides in Bristol.

Singing career

Rose began her singing career performing live with Steeleye Span while still in her teenage years. This lead to her being invited to contribute vocals to several albums by various folk artists. In 2002 Park Records released the a'cappella folk album Bib and Tuck by 'Maddy Prior And The Girls', a trio comprised of Maddy Prior, Rose Kemp and Abbie Lathe. Rose wrote, and sang lead vocals on, several of the album's tracks. Rose's first solo album Glance, an acoustic pop record, was released on Park Records in 2003. Rose subsequently toured with The Oyster Band as part of The Big Session, appearing with them across the UK and Europe. 2004 saw a considerable change in the direction of Rose's musical output. She recorded a mini-album, originally entitled 'The Free To Be Me E.P' but later renamed simply 'Mini-Album', at Warehouse Studios in Oxford with members of The Fourers. The new recording was very much a rock record, with Rose playing electric guitar and taking charge of the arrangements and production for the first time in her career. Rose signed an album deal with One Little Indian Records in July 2005, and recorded her second full length album, 'A Hand Full of Hurricanes', at studios in Bristol and Cardiff with the producer Charlie Francis. The album will be released in 2006. She has spent much of the time since touring the UK and Europe.

Rose also performs with SJ Esau and Max Milton as part of the experimental, often improvisational pop trio Jeremy Smoking Jacket. The group recorded an EP entitled 'Now We Are Dead (and Other Stories)' which was released jointly by Enormous Corpse and Fact Fans in August 2005.
