"Rosemary's originality and authentic execution of unique modern music is a step in the direction that alternative music will likely soon be taking. Her laid-back, casual yet diverse approach to recorded music has potential [to] be of popularity among the next generation of the independent music circuit."
- Independent Nashville
"Rosemary is likened to the Breeders. And that's true, to an extent. She has their tenacity, rawness, and quick melodic vocal delivery. Her songs however lack the brash distorted intensity that the one-hit wonder "Cannonball" female-led group had. Instead the music is more cerebral and sublime, often finding a place to stretch out and lay waste to whatever is holding you down."

The Fabulous Life of... ROSEMARY
ROSEMARY has been playing music since age 13. Having grown up in Nashville,
TN, she has had the fortune of playing out in local clubs and venues for years. She has been involved with numerous musical projects such as: (Andy Bodean
and the Bottom Boys, Communist, Tim Chad and Sherry, Ultra Vulgar, Flyaway
Minion, and E-banditos, to name a few). Many of these can be found and downloaded
through Black Label Empire (www.blacklabelempire.com). In 2003, ROSEMARY partnered up with master engineer Patrick Himes (who has numerous credits and accolades to his name, including asst. engineer of Ryan Adam's "Heartbreaker"). They began working on numerous singles and other projects. The two continue to record together at every possible opportunity. At the moment, BLE
has two singles and one short EP available for purchase, respectively titled
"The Floater," "Cha-Cha in Your Ear," and "The Fabulous Life Of..." ROSEMARY also has a video for "Altazar" from "The Fabulous Life Of...EP."
ROSEMARY and Patrick tackle everything together on the recordings they produce.
Generally, speaking, ROSEMARY writes all lyrics and music, initially. Patrick
then comes behind her and "cleans up [her] mess," as ROSEMARY puts
it. For the most part, all parts are played by both She and Patrick,
with the occasional guest appearance. The two do everything themselves, including
writing, recording, engineering, producing, etc.
ROSEMARY is also a graduate from the internationally known SAE Institute,
formerly known as School of Audio Engineering, founded by Tom Misner. This new
acheivement will undoubtedly only enhance her already noteworthy talents. Most recently, ROSEMARY and Patrick launched their own entertainment company, WaterWorks Entertainment. WWE is both a recording studio and a publishing company. For more information on WaterWorks Ent., visit www.waterworksentertainment.com .
