Rossoni’s October 15, 2010

Americana/Acoustic
Rossoni's music is cross-generational, original, acoustic rock n’ roll-or in today’s terms, Americana-ish. Her music is very upbeat and inspirational-but she’s known to throw in a few hard-luck-gut wrenching tunes into her sets for the weepy, pensive types.

Her first record in five years and her third album overall, Timber & Nails, is the sound of a songwriter growing cozy in her own skin. Her words and music come from the soul of someone who has finally, after a long search, discovered her identity as an artist.

Mary Ann Rossoni, band leader, writer and lead vocalist is not new to the scene having toured for several years as a soloist and with her band. She was raised in Johnston, RI yet has called Providence her home since graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design with a degree in Illustration.

She is thankful to be a self employed artist and musician and likes it that way. She has a wide range of influences but attributes most to 70s rock and her all-time musical heroes: B. Springsteen, J. Mitchell, J.Taylor, G. Estefan and Yo Yo Ma-oh and let’s not forget her 5th grade teacher Mr. Skitt.
