KAT DANSER | FEBRUARY 18. 2012
Listening to Kat Danser is like travelling with your ears. Her music draws a direct line from the Canadian Prairies to the Mississippi Delta. This Edmonton-based guitarist, songwriter and vocalist has been dubbed “The Queen of The Swamp Blues”. Her style is steeped in tradition yet distills a refreshing approach to roots, blues, and gospel music for the 21st Century. Danser offers a new take on centuries-old premises and is adept at taking jabs at modern-day cultural phenomena.
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 doing so, we also hope to enliven the heritage core of Camrose by giving people an excuse to go out for dinner and check out the shops of the historic Main Street area before taking in one of our shows. Since 2006, Rose City Roots has showcased 40 artists from across Canada, playing a range of "roots" music, including folk, alternative folk, roots rock, roots blues and roots country. Our performers have played in a variety of venues, most recently in Scalliwags Pub and Rum Bar, 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 music.
Rose City Roots is made possible by contributions provided by our generous sponsors and loyal members. For more information, please visit our Sponsors page.
