The Blushin' Roulettes
Old-timey music with a modern twist! A blossoming West Coast sound called "California Country". Angela Rose lives at OMF, and finds much inspiration here! See and hear more at BlushinRoulettes.com and on Facebook and MySpace.
"This gang of musicians delivers old-timey tunes with a modern twist deeply rooted in feminine perspective. Their current release is "Took to the Country" (March 2009.)
Songwriter/guitarist Angela Rose belts her sweet and sultry tunes of damsels in their bliss and distress in a warbling vibrato often compared to Iris Dement and Dolly Parton. Kate Stone adds her smooth vocal harmonies as she holds down the low end plucking and bowing her cello.
Add to this the tasty guitar licks of the legendary Buddy Stubbs, the tasteful dobro stylings of Cas Sochacki and the swanky harmonies of special guest star Gwyn Moreland of Foxglove.
The Roulettes are part of a blossoming west coast crop of bands you could call "California Country"; from Humboldt bluegrass boys the Bucky Walters to Gwyn Moreland's dark country ballads to rugged rags of the Kerosene Kondors.
The Mendocino small town scene of shared backdrops makes for a cross-pollination that has heavily inspired the Roulettes to twang it up." -- From Mendocino Stories & Music
