Stacie Rose The Complete Collection

Gemm Magazine intends to have full pages on essential artists that our readers want to know more about. From Genya Ravan of Ten Wheel Drive to Alvin Lee from Ten Year's After, Peter Noone of Herman's Hermits to Eddy Pumer of Kaleidoscope, the UK band that opened the Isle Of Wight Festival, biographies, discographies and anecdotes about rare recordings from all of these artists help make the Gemm.com experience more than just shopping for your favorite music - it becomes an education that we feel confident will also be filled with a sense of discovery and wonder.
Born and raised in Jersey to music loving parents Stacie grew up surrounded by song. Sounds of the Beatles, Billie Holiday, Billy Joel, Frank Sinatra, and the Bee Gees - from jazz to folk to classic rock these impressions steered her creative development, so much so that the future vocalist/writer began playing and singing at an early age.In college Rose bought a guitar in a London pawnshop, which served in putting her thoughts and ideas into musical form. She played in her room late at night, at parties, and to roommates. Rose wrote and wrote, experimenting with her voice, playing Neil Young songs, always making a statement. She started The Stacie Rose Band as soon as she graduated Ithaca College, and a rep from, Maverick Records, liked the songs and voice, but not the heaviness of the group. Stacie knew she wasn't in the right situation, so she went back to square one, wrote more songs, and began a quest for someone to help shape her sound.Robert L. Smith was one of a half dozen producers who came to see Stacie live. Having cut his teeth on helping such singers as Mariah Carey develop their sound, he knew what was needed to get Stacie's songs the attention they deserved.
Surrounding her with some of NYC's best musicians proved to be the key to retaining a simple and clean sound. Interviews in the February 2003 issue of the prestigious FemaleMusician.com WEBzine, the ever present Aquarian's Arts Weekly, The Hudson Current and Relix Magazine, among others, brought print attention to the woman who was seen nationally on ABC during times when Monday Night Football, The Practice, and other ABC Prime Time shows aired.Five songs from the "This Is Mine" CD were released in early 2002 with the full CD promotion initiated in the fall of that year, the disc officially released in February of 2003. The engaging artist is a conversationalist who first performed at the age of four singing "You're A Grand Old Flag" in a huge church to a great many people - this while she was in Lollipop Nursery School.A gifted artist with many talents, Stacie Rose has the intuition and drive to not only create great pop tunes which future generations will love and cherish, she has the potential to develop a wide audience as the music unfolds, fans experiencing music that corresponds to the recordings live, never copying exactly what the musicians and she crafted before. The mainstream needs something to move people and bring some harmony, heartache, and maybe a little hope and joy into their lives - and that's what Stacie Rose is expressing, continuously challenging herself and the musicians performing these original tunes, sharing her individuality with colleagues and audiences. It's a mission that Stacie achieves with a simple elegance that has already garnered appreciative reviewsStacie is not a product of the studio. A real singer and writer, and performer, her most recent project, This is Yours an official bootleg, is a prime example of an artist in touch with what it takes to transform studio perfection to live energy. Originally intended as a document for personal use, the performances captured, along with endless requests from fans, demanded the Recordings to be released. Stacie Rose is putting rock, as we know it in a slightly different and beautiful new direction. - Rock Journalist Joe Viglione
