Boston-born, the youngest of eight in an Italian-Irish-American family - and nobody sings about regret and precious time lost quite like Eileen Rose. And it’s earned her a dedicated following of fans and critics. "Sensational" - Sunday Times; "A gem" - Guardian; "Mesmeric" - Uncut and "A shining debut" - Q. Using a lot of slide guitar so she must be alt-country right? On the other hand, there’s good old-fashioned rock for grown-ups in there too. Whatever, it’s a combination of rare power, polish and perception with near perfect songsmithery Madame could be a one-woman mid-period Floyd. Or the new Janis Joplin/Stevie Nicks/Patti Smith
