Rosemary Walks is a musician and songwriter from Cottage Grove, Oregon, whose music captures the tension between beauty and depth — lush, untamed, and human. Her sound lives where indie rock collides with experimental textures, shaped by her emotive voice and instinct for atmosphere that feels both intimate and cinematic.
Rosemary Walks explores the raw terrain of the heart — heartbreak, personal and spiritual growth, and the alchemy that transforms pain into meaning. “I’m writing to process energy, the energy created by the lived experience of love, loss, and the mystery of life.”
Her creative home is National Freedom Studio in Cottage Grove, founded by the late Richard Swift. There, she assists in the daily life of the studio and collaborates closely in the production of her recorded work with Christopher Colbert — the renowned engineer (The Walkman, Leon Bridges, Richard Swift)— and other talented collaborators to record and refine her evolving sound.
Her self-titled debut EP (2023) introduced her as a distinct voice in the indie landscape — cinematic yet deeply personal. Her follow-up Inchoate (2025) leaned further into emotional experimentation, layering vulnerability with sonic intensity. Beyond her own releases, Rosemary has contributed vocals to The Slip’s Eisenhower, Peter Matthew Bauer's Liberation, and Matt Nice and The Derls’ Handsome Boy Market, and Marco Benevento's record Swift.
Looking ahead, Rosemary is developing original releases for 2026 alongside a collaborative project, Your Word's Here,  of reimagined covers rolling out through 2026. Across all her work runs a steady thread — a belief in music as a vessel for transformation, a bridge between emotion and understanding, and a living dialogue with the unseen forces that shape our lives.
