Hey Rosetta!

Shot 17 September 2010 at the Bluebird Theater in Denver, CO.

They had just played an amazing set at the Bluebird Theatre and we waited while they packed up all their gear.  It’s quite a bit, considering the more-than-average instrumentation of the band.  I thought about how I had come to love this band so quickly in so short a time.  I had only first been exposed to them a few months before, but they were already one of my current favorites.  I keep telling everyone I know about Hey Rosetta – not because I’m some kind of music promoter – but probably because I think they write some of the most genuine and unique music I’ve ever experienced.  Each song tells a story, beautiful and heartfelt, perfectly orchestrated and never rushed – they seem to put an amazing amount of emotion into each one.

A few minutes of walking found us in front of a complete stranger’s house on a dark side-street.  The bricks bordering the sidewalk were a perfect spot for a band to sit down and offer their music to the sounds of the night.  We were only able to capture one song that night, a slow one, but one of my favorites for sure.  It was quite surreal, and an off-stage short I’ll never forget.  Enjoy a brief taste of Hey Rosetta! from a sidewalk in Denver, CO.  Photos from that night’s show are below.
