The Rosa Lees LIVE at The Rosebud

Sunday, May 24th // The Rosa Lees LIVE at The Rosebud // $15 Presale, $20 at the Door // All Ages // Doors 5pm, Show 6pm // Bluegrass, Roots

The Rosa Lees are an all-female bluegrass band with inventive instrumentation, dynamic arrangements, and tight 4-part harmonies that draw on elements from traditional bluegrass to old-time and classic country through a songwriter's pen.

The Rosa Lees hail from the hills of sunny Southern Oregon and trace a distinct line between their music and the vision of female bluegrass pioneers such as Hazel Dickens, Alice Gerrard, Rose Maddox, and beyond. As one of the up-and-coming bluegrass bands in the Northwest, The Rosa Lees have begun to tally up a significant list of performances at premier festivals and venues, including the 2025 Columbia Gorge Bluegrass Festival, The Holly Theater, Tsunami Books, McCloud Mountain Music Series, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, and Britt Festival. They've shared line-ups with Special Consensus, Missy Raines and Allegheny, The Western Flyers, Whiskey Deaf, and bluegrass songsmith Kristen Grainger. Their 2026 calendar includes Big Ponderoo in Sisters, OR with the California Honeydrops, Steep Canyon Rangers, Fruition, Big Richard, and Bronwyn Kieth-Hines, as well as Wheeler County Bluegrass Festival in 2026 with Never Come Down, among others. 

 At the forefront of The Rosa Lees' music lies an emphasis on closely blended harmonies, hard-charging rhythms, and lyrically potent songs. Their repertoire mingles elements of traditional bluegrass with traces of old-time fiddle and banjo tunes, classic country, old-world Celtic music, and gospel. Prioritizing songs with meaning and a strong turn of phrase, they work to fuse all these ingredients into the original songs that punctuate their sets. Audiences consistently rave about the distinct blend of their vocal harmonies and instrumental acuity, not to mention their playful on-stage demeanor. 

 The Rosa Lees are Rachel Buklad on banjo, Jessie Monter on fiddle, Holly Hurley on bass, and Bekkah McAlvage on guitar.
