Rosie Frater-Taylor

An electrifying force in contemporary British jazz weaves rock, alt-pop, neo-soul, new-school jazz, and folk into her singular sound

Making her third appearance at The Marrs Bar, virtuoso guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Rosie Frater-Taylor returns for the final session in our Re:play series featuring artists who performed for us when we were just getting started. Rosies trio played the final gig of our first year on 22nd December 2022. She since returned with Steve Taylors Fusion Phew in May last year.

Rosie wrote, recorded, produced and released her debut album On My Mind in 2018, comprising eight original songs with her playing guitar, ukulele, bass and singing with her dad Steve Taylor on drums. That was followed up by Bloom in 2021, which included covers of Stevie Nicks Dreams (which has received over 2m streams) and Crazy by Seal.

Her third album Featherweight, released last year, draws on the legacy of luminaries such as Joni Mitchell, Pat Metheny, and Steely Dan, while incorporating modern, rock-tinged influences like John Mayer, Meshell Ndegeocello, and Madison Cunningham. Led Zeppelins Jimmy Page lauded her exceptional connection with the guitar following her performance at the Gibson Garage launch in February last year.

Rosie will be performing in her regular trio with Dave Edwards on bass and Tom Potter (2016 Young Drummer of the Year).
