Born in 1896 in a log cabin by the Bad River, prairie songstress ROSE THORNE wrote hundreds of songs of prairie life, hope, longing and love in the 1920’s, 30’s & 40’s before her tragic death in 1950. All of her songs and paintings were destroyed in a fire --- a fire intentionally set. Miraculously, several dozen of her hand-written charts survived & were “discovered” by NYC drummer KENNY WOLLESEN, a grandson she never knew. Now in the 21st century her nearly forgotten music is blooming to life with a series of records and live performances.

Stay tuned for volumes 1 & 2 of THE SONG OF ROSE THORNE released by Wollesonic Records and a special performance of her music on April 22nd & 23rd at Roulette in Brooklyn all featuring the finest musicians in New York City
