“Here’s the thing: Rose Carleo is the next Queen of Australian rock.”
– Murray Engleheart

With the powerhouse talents of guitarist Mick Adkins by her side, Rose Carleo commands the stage with an electrifying presence and unrelenting grit. Supported by an all-star rhythm section—Bill Kervin of Dragon on bass and the legendary Mick O'Shea (drummer to the stars) behind the kit—the Rose Carleo Band doesn’t just play rock; they own it. Their sound hits with the force of a tidal wave: unapologetic, intense, and utterly magnetic. There’s no middle ground—you’re either with them, or you’re in the way.

The journey of this blues-rock juggernaut has been nothing short of electric. What began with a serendipitous meeting, a few texts, and some phone calls quickly ignited into a band that radiates explosive chemistry. Together, they create a dynamic force of soul-soaked vocals, searing guitar riffs, earth-shattering basslines, and primal, groove-laden rhythms—all unleashed with a raw, unfiltered intensity.

An ARIA-charting, award-winning artist, Rose Carleo has struck the perfect balance of songwriting, musicianship, and performance. “There’s an intensity that's impossible to put into words,” she reflects. “When you’re belting out a song you helped create, and the whole room is living it with you—it’s pure magic."

Channeling the timeless swagger of Free, Bad Company, Led Zeppelin, and the fearless spirit of Janis Joplin, the Rose Carleo Band blends classic rock influence with a modern edge. But make no mistake—they don’t sound like anyone else. They’re creating a legacy of their own.
