  • Bio

    The boys of the Rosewoods weren’t always on the same plane when it came to musical styles. Various listening backgrounds and influences created a mixed-up, chaotic sound that many likened to each band member’s instruments in a melee. The core of the band regrouped in late ’08, and enlisted a new lead singer and musical direction after their original frontman left for greener pastures. The new Rosewoods decided to focus on the songs and leave the jamming for the Grateful Dead. Born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Ryan Christopher fronts the band with lead vocals and adds a certain raw authenticity to the music. Kent Randall hails from Peterborough, Ontario and as resident keyboard/pianist is the musicologist of the group. Cousins Aaron Muniak, bass, and Tyler Plante, lead guitar, spent their adolescence growing up a few blocks apart in Welland, Ontario, honing their diversely influenced skills. Lastly, on drums and percussion, Andreas Houlios pulls from a vast array of cultural stylings and continues to create innovative beats that drive the band forward and hold them together. Formed officially in December of 2008, The Rosewoods (in their newest form) have been busy writing, gigging and recording. They have recently finished recording their debut EP 'Exigency' with producer Giuliano Baglioni at Iguana Studios in Toronto and Catharine North Studios in St. Kitts.

    Hi The Rosewoods,
    Thanks for visiting our site and being our friend. We are a rock 'n' roll band in the vein of The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan and Tom Petty. If you like The Rolling Stones, you will probably like us as we play that same blues based rock style that they do. Best wishes for a great 2011.

    That was a great set at The Horseshoe. Definitely evoking the spirit of 90's Britpop. A song like "Sensation" would not be out of place from the bands featured in the NME and British music mags from that time. The musicianship and songwriting is on the same level.
