Anna Rose

Anna Rose is an accomplished singer, songwriter, and guitarist. The fiery dynamo has been working in the music industry for over a decade. Whether as an artist, a label head, a songwriter for film and TV, or behind the scenes alongside her father, legendary composer Alan Menken, Anna puts her passion for music into everything she creates. Defined as “bluesy rock-n-roll” by Paper magazine, Rose is walking, singing proof that big things most definitely come in small packages.

Anna Rose’s most recent single, Nobody Knows I’m Here, featured on NBC’s hit show This Is Us, announces an exciting shift in her artistic career as she moves closer to her roots in the singer-songwriter world. It’s the first track from her highly-anticipated album, produced by Grammy-nominated producer Paul Moak. Due out later this year, the project is the result of 2 years of writing & redefining in Nashville, TN. “Throughout a time of deep turmoil and sadness, I found myself in Nashville a lot, writing not just for myself but for other artists and for film and television. That city slowly began to feel like home. Working there, making art there… really helped me heal a lot of the wounds that I had collected along the way in my life,” shares Rose. “I’m eternally grateful to the city of Nashville for opening their arms to me. As a bit of an outsider, it gave me a place where I felt like I belonged for the first time really…ever.”

To date, Rose has toured all over the world, sharing stages with a variety of notable artists, including Ron Pope, Marc Cohn, Joan Osborne, John Waite, Howie Day, Teddy <3 , Tony Lucca, Tyler Hilton and founding member of Live, Ed Kowalczyk. Anna has also been a part of many shows with Sofar Sounds and Communion Music, as well as doing specialized recording projects with both Leesta Vall Sound Recordings and Daytrotter. In addition to her work as a solo artist, she is proud to be a member of the Resistance Revival Chorus, a collective of more than 60 women who come together to sing protest songs in the spirit of inclusive joy & resistance. 

Anna is very passionate about giving back, both through music & service work. Green Chimneys, Daniel’s Music Foundation and MILE (Music Is Love Exchange) are three organizations she works with often. Additionally, she is devoted to volunteering at various animal rescues & homeless shelters around the country.
