Rosa Sky's Page

Rosa Sky is authentic music. Passionate acoustic music – somewhere between folk, blues, country and pop. Guess you can call it Americana. Singer/songwriter Nicole Schouten and guitarist/songwriter Ben Jasink started Rosa Sky in 2007, creating their songs at home at the kitchen table. Both have been musicians for years and originally played in several bands in the punk and rock-scene. Soon more musicians joined Rosa Sky: Henk Mellema (acoustic bass) and Rene Holthuis (acoustic guitar and lapsteel). Nicole is a singer/performer and had a career in Storytelling. The songs of Rosa Sky are all little stories in it self, based on the experiences and emotions we get from living. All original Rosa Sky songs, in a great variety; some fragile, some angry, some funny, some tender. Performances so far have been well received by the public and we’re all waiting for the first CD to come out. This is due this summer. We have been recording and working together with producer and singer/songwriter Martin van de Vrugt in his studio. For the CD - Sweet Surrender – we also worked together with our friends Albert Bartelds (acoustic guitar and standing bass) and drummer Ben van de Bunt . A beautifull version of the song Sweet Surrender has been recorded with the Senegalese singer/songwriter Thierno Barry. Info: rosasky@xs4all.nl
