Amanda Canzurlo guitar/vox
Amanda Canzurlo is one of those inspiring, beautiful people you meet for a moment yet remember for a lifetime. Listening to this girl sing is like joining her in the front seat of a fast scarlet-red convertible, cruising the coast then heading for the mountains. With the feeling of the wind in your hair, you’ll have a smile on your face for the entire ride, even though it might be but for a brief moment in time before she takes off on the next part of her extraordinary journey.
Turin Robinson vox/guitar
An all-round Rosemount stalwart: exemplary with a lawnmower or a hose, with hands and arms that are capable of lifting reasonably heavy furniture while still being gentle enough to scratch behind the ear of a passing puppy or kitten; our Turin can do it all. A sturdy keg-shifter, a smooth word twister, a capable bar-tender with unsurpassed expertise on the better side of the bar (with a pint in hand). On his downtime his hobbies include collecting woollen hats, imitating obscure South African artists, playing Warcraft, staying tidy, and being respectful to seniors. But when all is said and done, Turin is perhaps best known for his role as the instigator and facilitator of Rosie’s Open Mic & Jam Session. From humble beginnings way back before years started in “20” Turin is using his siren-song to pull unsuspecting musicians and the musically minded away from the streets of North Perth into the crook of his acoustic arm.

Leah Miche vox/guitar
Leah Miche has taken a step back from the roots genre she was more commonly known for and created a collection of moody indi folk songs lathered with soulful vocal melodies and and gritty lyrics – think Nick Cave crossed with Florence Welsh and Sarah Blasko. Now fronting in her new band The Regular Hunters Leah will be performing a stripped back set with a little help from Willem Lieftink (Golden String/Polly Medland) and William Langdale (Apache).

Rose Parker vox/guitar
Rose Parker is an acclaimed singer, songwriter and guitarist who draws from indie-folk, gospel, blues and alternative country to craft clear-eyed songs of hope and resignation, humour and grief, gratitude and resilience. Her songs go straight to the heart, powerful, passionate and soulful. She writes from a distinctly Australian perspective about living life in this big beautiful red dirt country, the people, the places, the stories.
