Emerald Rose is known as an energetic, exciting four-man ensemble from Georgia performing both traditional and original Celtic-inspired folk rock. Since 1997, the band has been developing a unique sound blending guitar, pennywhistle, pipes, world percussion and harmony vocals that dances through many styles, from traditional Celtic dance to modern folk/rock, mythic ballads, pop, and humor. The band has just released their sixth full-length CD, "Con Suite" Emerald Rose is well-known on the sci-fi/fantasy 'con circuit, from regular performances at Dragon*con in Atlanta, I*Con in NY, and Oscars party performances in Hollywood for Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" epic movies. Their music is featured in two genre documentaries, "Ringers: Lord of the Fans" by TheOneRing.net, and Brian Wiser's "Done the Impossible" about Joss Whedon's Firefly/Serenity phenomenon. "Con Suite" is a departure into "pure comedy" for the band, featuring songs written for and about sci-fi/fantasy fandom (among many other topics!) While there's a Celtic "feel" to some tracks, it's more in the "comedy pop" category -- closer to Weird Al or TMBG than The Chieftains. We hope you enjoy hearing it as much as we did creating it! Emerald Rose is based in North Georgia, and their website is http://www.emeraldrose.com.
