VCL Interview podcast with Delaney Rose




About Delaney Rose:

A new sound emerged within Delaney in Vancouver as she recovered from a near death car accident in 1997. This experience created within her a time of silence with her Creator, to find her own unique and passionate style of music. Delaney switched off the radio, spent time in the woods, drove around in her car and listened until the songs came. Manitoba-born, Delaney Rose, recently finished her first Western Canadian Tour in 2000, to promote her first EP titled "Evolving". Many Canadian hearts have been won from her heart-edge racing lyrics while beguiling them with her challenging beats driven from her soul. Her music speaks for itself: light, freedom, energy. Quoted by Rueben Gurr, producer of EP "Evolving". "You walk into a feeling of peace that's right next to the edge". Quoted by a anonomious fan of Delaney Rose Performing and co-producing both the Starlite Cafe Concert Series founded by Delaney Rose in Langley, B.C., a unique original musical "state of mind" event and Society of Women in Music's venue at NewMusicWest '99 in Vancouver. This recording artist creates a majestic blend between her music and the atmosphere of the events that surround it.
