Spotlight Artist of The Month: Amy Rose Gives Good Meaning To Country Music

Amy Rose

Amy Rose is as country as country can be, and they say Canada isn't country. The Barrie, Ontario born and bred vocal power house is that and more. In our first interview laughs were rolling and stories were exchanged but I'll leave that on the cutting room floor. Rose is charmingly witty,poised, and polished. Don't get me wrong she's a total redneck she told me. "We're like Duck Dynasty meets Honey Boo Boo, we're a large family you just never know what to expect from us". Aside from family country music is a huge part of Rose's career who's been performing since the age of 5 who stands up for female empowerment another reason to really push the women of country music from word of mouth at Country Music City Promotions. I never had this much fun interviewing a female artist. I literally cried with tears streaming down my face. Rose is so real, honest, all heart, she's infectious and has a way to make anyone smile. Rose is on the rise who's charted territory with 3 consecutive singles from "I Just Want You To Know"," (Redneck Reunion)Party Like A Redneck", and "Sunshine", so what's next? This is it! Find out here.

You began performing at a very young age, did you always know that you wanted to be a performer?  "I did, I did!" "It's funny cause I grew up in a house were country music was played 24/7 and that's all you heard we didn't have other genre's of music in our house it was only country and I'm talking about the classic country like Tammy Wynette, Pasty Cline, Conway Twitty, those type of artists. I grew up in it. I had a kids classic record player, it was a Strawberry Shortcake record player that played real records and I had this mix record of country classics, it was something like that with Patsy Cline on it and there was Tammy Wynette's "Stand By Your Man" I literally locked myself in my room to memorizing the song. I was 5 and remember going with my parents to the local fair, they had this karaoke contest going on and I told them I wanted to sing, it was a competition so I basically told them I wanted to do it, my mom talked to the judges and asked them if I could sing. I get up there and sang Tammy's "Stand By Your Man" from then on I was hooked.


Have you had any moments over the years that awe struck you or took you by surprise? Oh gosh, yeah, I've met so many people I got to open for Big and Rich last summer. Their really nice guys. I recently got to meet Crystal Gayle down in Nashville, I love her, so honestly at that moment I was awe struck. Honestly I really want to meet Dolly Parton.


How has your family adjusted to you're constant traveling? I love to travel, don't get me wrong, as long as I'm on land, we drive everywhere. I miss my kids a lot of the times when I'm gone, it is so hard, their still young and I don't want to have to take them somewhere where they have to be watched. In the future would love to take them on the road and make it out of a big ole family trip.


You have 3 girls do they see mommy as a big country superstar?  No, I'm mommy!

Of all the single releases you've released this past year is there one that means the most to you? I'm trying to get this full album done, realistically the way I see it right now I'm releasing all these singles. "I Just Want You To Know" was the first chart topping single then followed it up with "Party Like A Redneck". My most favorite one, wow! um, would have to be (Redneck Reunion) Party Like A Redneck is because I co-wrote it and it's about family it represents where I come from and my back round.



Country Crazy is you're newest single, what drew you to the song? That song was written by my chief producers Marty Beecroft and Glenn Coulson, they wrote it with Tal Bachman who wrote "She's So High". He brought the song to me and said listen to it and let me know what you think, so I listened to it, I liked it but already had four songs picked out at the time so let's put this on the back burner. Then when it was time pulled it back out and thought this is like me. It really describes me, so we decided to record it. Hopefully people will dig it.



Country music has become the most popular in years,do you think you have to continue to raise the bar as a country female artist? Yeah,It's funny and something that I'm getting compared to great vocalists such as Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson who I don't stand a chance to, their great and I'm a big fan of both of them.Typically in today's society men are dominating the charts, the women  have to keep pushing  it's harder for a female to make it in the industry than it is opposed to a male. It's a man's world and we need to take charge of it. Women hear us roar! We've got these songs to sing and we want you to hear them.


If you could collaborate with any female country artist who would it be and why?  Dolly Parton, I love her, I look up to her, honestly, I want a career path such as her. She's an inspiration to so many artists not just myself. By the trend and the image she paved the way for women telling them you don't need to look a certain way. She's more than just an artist, she's an actress, a screen writer, she's a producer, she did broadway, she's a director, she's really done it all and I love her I think she's great.


Can we expect a new album later this year?  Eventually, yeah we're gonna have a full album but like I said right now it's like having an album full of singles. I would like to release a full album and I would want it to be called "The Real Me"  out of all the albums I've done I took some time out to become a mom I got to experience life in so many ways and found the real me and searched for the inner artist I am. I did all the co-writes, the graphics, everything.  I feel like this project itself is the real me, it's the sweat and tears I put into it. Once this projects finished I want it to be titled "The Real Me" this is the real Amy.


What has been you're biggest highlight  this year?, or have there been several?  There are so many, um, I was invited to do the Billy Block show, I was really excited to do that, uh! um!, as well as winning the award for the Nashville Universe Awards it was really unexpected, honestly I'm thinking WOW this Canadian girl from Ontario get's nominated I'm not even American. I literally was jumping up and down like a kid in a candy shop "I won, I won, I won!" That was pretty cool. Uh, oh gosh part of CMA Fest, I had such a great time. I love Nashville I want to move there. It's my goal crossing my fingers to one day pack up the family and move there.


Lastly, were do you see yourself in the next year with music and family? 
Hmmm, my goal my ten year plan is, I wanna be performing on the Grand Ole Opry stage it's always been a dream of mine since I was little. We've been working on this for years and hoping that one day it will pay off, it would be a great opportunity. To ever get to that point would be a great accomplishment. I want to get up there and I want Dolly Parton to introduce me. That would be super awesome. 



Get to know Amy, hear her music, you won't be sorry.She's in great company in this industry. We can only image what's next in store for Rose. Join on Facebook, Follow on Twitter and get all the music on ReverbNation and YouTube here

CMT Music Awards: Highlights and Winners

The 2014 CMT Awards aired live on CMT Wednesday evening kicking off  CMA Music Fest week. Starting the show with a performance from Florida Georgia Line, Luke Bryan and  ZZ Top  might have ruined it for traditional country fans all together who still prefer old school country to the modern day country pop sound. Hosting the show as a solo act this year Kristen Bell had snappy come backs and hijinks, some didn't fly so well, though at times found her groove. The night's highlighted performances were many including Little Big Town's performance of their brand new single "Day Drinking", the romping summer themed song gives last years hit Pontoon a  sequel and this is it.Flying paint drenches on the performance and the crowd all together making it the most memorable performance of the evening. It was a night for Eric Church's take no BS attitude jived the larger than life crowd and his fellow peers. "That's Damn Rock N' Roll" is a reminder of  the days of Johnny Cash and Johnny Paycheck who made a mark in country music history. Keith Urban took a more intimate approach with his performance of "Cop Car" with The Bluebird Cafe back drop taking us where it all began performing at night clubs. The most influential moment was the CMT Impact Award, Carrie Underwood was honored to present to Alan Jackson who has given fans more than 50 singles to date, the performance tribute from Lee Ann Womack and Kacey Musgraves was a match made in heaven, "Livin' On Love" couldn't sound better than Alan performing it himself. True country came alive. Jennifer Nettles returned to the CMT Music stage this year with Hunter Hayes and R&B singer John Legend, the moving ballad "All Of Me" struck a cord in all of us. As much as there were performances there was less time for acceptance speeches. The only female in the category for Breakthrough Artist Cassadee Pope looked dim, however took the buckle by surprise and was floored by the win. Female empowerment couldn't look better from a female country artist these days and Blake Shelton was estatic for her. Brantley Gilbert was flying high with his performance of "Bottoms Up" the number 1 song in country music  soared through the crowd showing his love and appreciation to fans took a leap, a perfect back flip. What a bold move. As if that wasn't enough Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood strutted their high rising stilettos and big hair giving rock n' roll a good name with their performance of "Something Bad". To top off the last of the performances Blake Shelton takes us outside downtown Nashville with "Boys 'Round Here", the city lights were bright and the crowd was partying hard. Country music lit up the night with the largest crowd to date for CMA Music Fest week. Knowingly thinking all of the United States were in attendance.
