Rosie Daze is an all-women band playing originals, traditionals, and covers rooted in the sounds of Bluegrass, Folk, and Old-Timey rhythms. In their first booking season they have played amazing bluegrass festivals back and forth across the state of Minnesita sharing the stage with amazing bands like Rusty Playground, The Roe Family Singers, Buffalo Galaxy, Mother Banjo, and Monroe Crossing among others!

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

We need 2 mic stands and 4 channels on the board. We use 4 Ear Trumpet mics for vocals and all instruments and Phantom Power. If the stage space is especially prone to feedback, we will need a second option and set up (4 vocal mics, 4 instrument mics, 2 monitors, and a power cord for the upright bass amp.) We need a stage of at least 6 x 6 feet (1.83 X 1.82 meters) but would be more comfortable with a 10 x 10-foot space (3.05 x 3.05). Parking will be determined by location. Distant trips will need parking for a 28 foot bus parking, (8.53 x2.74 meters), while closer venues will need to 3-4 vehicle spots.


What information do you require about a venue?

Load in spaces and doors, phone number to call or text when we arrive, point of contact for on site, venue audience set- up (i.e. seated rows, cafe style tables with SRO, combination of the two). Is there a lighting technician we need to connect with prior to event? Will there be a space for merchandise to be sold? Who will be doing intros?


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

We travel with our own mics. We can bring the entire audio set up and provide an audio engineer to monitor sound during performance. We do not bring our own lighting set-up or technician.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

We typically do not provide prior/post/between music, but if we know there is a need we can set it up and include it in the cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

We performed at a small-town theatre in Wisconsin for about 50 people and it taught us a lot about quality vs quantity. They did not expect many as it was the beginning of the season, but people came through to enjoy the evening of music together. Sit down, storytelling, intimate settings where we connect to the audience for the night makes us feel like we are doing it right.


What's your favourite type of event?

We performed at a bluegrass festival and packed the tent until it was bursting at the seams. The audience spilled out the back and up the hill, and more people just kept coming. It was a beautiful experience to connect to an audience who already have a love of the music we perform instead of having to convince an audience that the music is worth their time. We like both sit down intimate connections and raucous festivals that end with dancing, clapping, and foot stomping. Event size doesn't matter, as long as the audience is in it.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

Each band member brings decades of gigging experience to the table. Every band is a learning experience, every band member has needs, and each time I go out and perform solo original work I learn what it takes to share my music publicly. As a songwriter, I am always writing about a truth that means something to me, and hope that it connects to others in meaningful ways as well. The band is a unicorn among our kind. An all-women band is rare enough, but this also ain't our first rodeo. We play songs that we love and perform music that we hope gives us joy that then conveys that same feeling to the audience. Our originals are centered on characters you might like to be friends with and life moments that we can all relate to. We hope to start widening our area and reaching a broader audience geographically with the goal of an international tour in the first 5 years.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

Gillian Welch, Bonnie Ratt, Big Richard, The Rainbow Girls, Rhonda Vincent, Sister Sadie, Donna Ulisse, The Foxgloves, Becky Bueller, Sierra Ferrell, Dolly Pardon, Belinda Carlisle, Sister Loretta Thorpe, Ella Fitzgerald, and Pink. Greatest song ever written I cannot answer.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We arrive 60-90 minutes early, perform 2 x 45 minute sets. We can go longer with a simplified middle set to extend the performance time by 30 extra minutes.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes. Shade and level surface with a monitor system to help with hearing the harmonies and power supply close to the performance area.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

We are willing to learn 1-2 special requests per gig. The rest of the set list is at our discretion with client asks to be taken under consideration, (i.e. more vocal songs, fewer fiddle tunes).


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

We've been described as "the real deal" - "the band that knows how to harmonize" - "they are infectious, in a non-pandemic, good way."
