Hurricane Roses

"Waltzing across today's musical landscape with the style, sound and swagger of a mid-20th-century country band, Hurricane Roses is creating quite a storm in the Bay Area and beyond. Based in both Santa Cruz and San Jose, this smart, sharp and talented outfit artfully blends country blues, hillbilly sparkle and rockin' rhythms in a way that brings Patsy, Wanda Jackson and Bobbie Gentry to mind. Backed by her band of ace musicians, front woman Angelina Lemucchi sings songs of heartbreak, longing and good girls gone bad, then shifts gears into a rhythm-driven number that shakes the ache off loneliness and finds freedom and comfort in the fringe." Santa Cruz Weekly "When Angelina Lemucchi started writing songs for her group Hurricane Roses, she was surprised to find an overt country influence emerge. All those years listening to Loretta Lynn and Meryl Haggard as a kid made it the most natural way to express herself. Her lyrics and melodies take on an intimate, somber tone much like Neko Case's approach to country, but unlike Case, the arrangements are a lot more danceable--booty-shaking even." Aaron Carnes, sanjose.com "Sometimes gently ambling with brooding ballads and other times romping with unmitigated rock swiftness, the six-piece transforms Lemucchi’s cache of personal lyrics—deeply cathartic in nature—into rumbling toe-tappers." Good Times Newspaper "Angelina Lemucchi, the ring leader and lead vocalist, echos the classical tones of a 'coal miner’s daughter' with a soulful longing that floats into the air." Content Magazine "Taking inspiration from rock ‘n’ roll, country and R&B, with a healthy dose of twang on the side, Hurricane Roses brings songs of sorrow and joy, hope, desperation and discovery to an ever-growing number of people who like a little less glam and a little more soul in their country music." Cat Johnson, sanjose.com "Hurricane Roses are a local force that artfully blends country, blues, and rock-n-roll rhythms together in a smart mix that flows into the deepest corners of your soul. Backed by a talented group of men, front-woman Angelina Lemucchi sings of heartbreak, hope, longing and discovery, gripping the listeners most innermost core, yet with a danceable, toe-tapping energy that will make just about anyone move. This is one of the Bay Area’s hot up and coming acts." Left Coast Live "In their 5 years together the band has honed a loosely-taut sensibility that results in a deceptively effortless sound."
