~BIO~

Romeo Rose is not just another Guitarist/Singer/Songwriter, he is one of the most original Bluesmen of our time. In fact, he is one of the most unique, outspoken, and passionate people you will most likely ever meet in your life.

Words like eccentric and flamboyant don't even really do justice in attempting to describe Romeo Rose. Everything about him is different than anyone else out there on the Blues scene. From his trademark fancy brocade jackets and custom one of a kind carved guitar he calls Juliet to the way he writes and performs his music, he is a leader, not a follower. That is one of the things that sets Romeo Rose apart from the rest.

In fact, on Romeo Rose's business cards it even says, "100% Original Blues", and that's exactly what you get from Romeo Rose, no cover songs, just real heart felt Blues. On the reverse sides of his business cards it says "Coming Soon To A Juke Joint Near You", that line in itself goes a long way in showing the attitude of Romeo Rose. It shows that he's not in this business for the money and fame, it would actually mean more to him to be booked into a old run down juke joint somewhere in the Mississippi Delta playing for a few people, than to be playing to a sold out stadium.


Romeo Rose has life experiences, struggles and hardships that he uses as inspiration in his music. Romeo Rose has substance and truth in his songs because he is the real deal. The Blues is not just something you can learn, it's something you have to live and breath, and that's what Romeo Rose does.





Romeo Rose was truly born with the Blues. Romeo Rose was born with a identical twin brother But he was tragically killed shortly after birth.Two years later because of neglect and abuse, his great grandmother took Romeo to raise as her own son. His great grandmothers husband became a real Daddy to Romeo, but that would end all too soon when he was cut to pieces and killed by a bush hog (farm machinery) while working on a farm when Romeo was only 13 years old. Several years later his great grandmother died from cancer, leaving Romeo alone, left with no more family. Romeo grew up mostly alone, so called friends only used him and took advantage of him which is why to this day he is still mostly a loner.

Later on Romeo Rose wrote a song called Soul Brother that would deal with some of that. The lyrics to the song was published in the book about Stevie Ray Vaughan called You Can't Stop A Comet. This was a honor for Romeo because SRV was one his early influences growing up.



As Romeo Rose says "Music is just the reflection of the musicians soul that created it". And if you take the time to read or listen to the lyrics of Romeo's songs, you will have a glimpse into his mind, heart, and soul. His songs are very autobiographical of the life he's led and the things he's felt and went through. His songs have subject matter ranging from suicide, being homeless, wild women, loss of loved ones, etc. The bad times and the good, Romeo pulls no punches. He has lived a life of Blues, he has felt the pain of the Blues, and his music is the real Blues that he's lived and felt.

The influences you will probably hear the most in Romeo Rose's style of Blues are those of:

Howlin Wolf, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Lightnin Hopkins, Albert King, Hound Dog Taylor, Son House, and Fred Mcdowell to name a few. But there's really no way to compare what Romeo Rose sounds like to anyone else, because Romeo Rose has risen above everyone else and created his own unique style of Blues.

He's had his share of tragedy and paid many dues but to this day Romeo Rose still stands tall, for he is 'The King Of the Jungle". Romeo Rose truly is larger than life.

Many people often say that Romeo Rose should have been born a old black man, because without a doubt Romeo Rose has got the soul of a Bluesman.

Romeo Rose will soon be making Austin, Texas his home.
