Rose City Roots Music Society (RCRMS) is a registered non-profit organization dedicated to enriching the arts and culture community in rural Alberta by bringing exciting live-music to downtown Camrose. In so doing, Rose City Roots hopes to enliven the heritage core of Camrose by giving people an opportunity to go out for dinner and visit the shops and businesses of the historic Main Street area before taking in a show. Since 2006, Rose City Roots has showcased more than 50 artists from across Canada, playing a range of “roots” music, including folk, alternative folk, roots rock, roots blues and roots country. Performers have played in a variety of venues, most recently in Scalliwags Pub and Rum Bar and the newly renovated Bailey Theatre, situated in historic downtown Camrose. Besides offering a wide selection of rums and delicious homemade pizzas, Scalliwags offers a welcoming and intimate setting for fans of great live music. The Bailey Theatre has a greater seating capacity for those performers who attract a larger audience and/or require a bigger stage. Rose City Roots has also collaborated with local community organizations, such as Augustana Campus, the Augustana Students’ Association, the Augustana Bike Share, the Open Door, Untapped Alberta and the Camrose Food Bank.

Rose City Roots is made possible by contributions provided by our generous sponsors and loyal members. For more information, please visit our Sponsors page.
