Rose Carleo

Loud, gritty blues-rock is what the Rose Carleo Band brings, with big riffs and a vocal that doesn't hold back. It's a gig band first, the kind you book for a pub night or a birthday where the guests want real rock played at proper volume. Mick Adkins plays guitar, with Mick O'Shea and Bill Kervin in the rhythm section, and the sound mixes classic rock swagger with a harder modern edge. Rose Carleo is an ARIA-charting, award-winning artist, and it's the intensity on stage that people talk about. They're based in Sydney.
