Anna Rose at the Ross Farm, with Rebecca Haviland
Ross Farm 135 N Maple Ave, Basking RidgeFor more than 20 years, critically-acclaimed songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and producer Anna Rose has toured the United States headlining powerfully intimate shows and opening for an array of illustrious global acts. Time on the road, and in the studio for her three impassioned full-length albums, has honed her songcrafting skills and fueled the storytelling fire that burns within this Nashville-based, New York and LA-raised independent artist. Rose transforms cross-genre influences - which range from classic rock to alternative-indie, pop and country - into concise contemporary tracks built upon dynamic, often bombastic, vocals and expert musicianship. Opening the concert will be Rebecca Haviland, lead singer of Rebecca Haviland and Whiskey Heart, a roots rock Americana band based in New York. Rebecca's big vocals and intimate songwriting break new barriers with her band's unique form of Americana. She'll open the show as a duo, and then will join Anna Rose's trio for the headlining set. We are excited to welcome Anna Rose back to the Ross Farm on Saturday, June 17! Doors open at 6 p.m. and Rebecca Haviland takes the stage at 7 p.m. Lawn chairs or blankets to spread out are recommended, and picnics are welcome, carry in/carry out style.
