Shealagh Rose

Story

Shealagh Rose is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist hailing from Hamilton, Ontario. Developing her voice and songwriting in Toronto at Humber College’s Bachelor of Music program, she worked with mentors like Rik Emmett (Triumph), and had the opportunity to record backup vocals with legendary producer Ken Scott. She was a regional finalist in CBC’s 2017 Searchlight competition with her song “Dream” off of her debut EP “Island.” Lush with soulful vocals, addicting progressions, and beautiful string sections, the record boasts the aesthetic of indie folk anthems.

Shealagh’s sophomore release teases of her earlier works, while introducing grittier sounds, and blending the lines between folk music and contemporary pop.

Her first single, “Radio Silence” off of her sophomore EP was released September 2024 to critical acclaim. UpToHear Music writes of the piece: “Layers of breathy harmonies line the composition, as well as delicate doubles that add a dreamy character to the production. Combined with the reverberating guitar textures, the song sways back and forth, from indie rock to the delightful hints of dream pop. The final third utilizes a rich dynamic shift, ultimately culminating in a wall of overdriven guitar tones, instilling a vast sense of ebb and flow and ensuring that every listener comes back to this one.”
