The Blushin' Roulettes

The Blushin’ Roulettes deliver old-time tunes with a modern twist. Songwriter/guitaress/banjo-picker Angie Rose Heimann writes earthy Americana folk songs and sagas of damsels in their bliss and distress in a stirringly delicate alto tinged with vibrato. The San Francisco Free Folk Festival called her songs “stripped down, sexy little jewel boxes stuffed with ancient mountain magic.” Themes include love and loss, wildness and domestication, and deepening the well within while while rooting into life with family, community and the natural world. The band's lineup at times expands to include Cas Sochacki on dobro and upright bass, Jay Brown on lead guitar, Luke Stone on piano and Kate Lawler on cello.

The Blushin' Roulettes' appearances include performances at the Kate Wolf Memorial Music Festival, San Francisco Free Folk Festival, North Bay Hootennany and the Humboldt Folklife Festival, as well as shared stages with the Wailin' Jennies, Wayne the Train Hancock, Big Sandy and His Fly Right Boys, and The Devil Makes 3, and poet John Trudell. Angie Rose Heimann has won songwriting awards in KZFR/Sierra Nevada's Celebration of the Song, Woody Guthrie Songwriting Contest, Artists for Literacy SIBL Songwriting Contest, and South Florida Folk Festival. The Roulettes' video performance of Angie's song "Dark of the Wood" was aired internationally on Destination America's "Monsters and Mysteries" series.
