Bio
Rosa Sky is authentic, passionate music – somewhere between folk, blues, country and pop.Since 2014 working on new electric songs with new drummer Marleen Santen.
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 the cd has been played on local, National and International Radiostations. A beautifull version of the song Sweet Surrender has been recorded with the Senegalese singer/songwriter Thierno Barry. We released our second CD All Around Us at the end of October 2011. It got good reviews in Music Maker, Heaven Magazine, MusicFromNL and Fret Magazine. Some songs got airplay on Dutch National radio stations, Radio 2&Radio 5.
