Duke of George presents Rose Carleo Rose Carleo’s three-decade career, packed with albums, awards, and ARIA success, has cemented her as a driving force in Australian rock.
Her unmistakable voice, heartfelt song-writing, and unstoppable drive have built her reputation as one of the most dynamic and genuine performers on the scene. Whether commanding a festival stage or captivating a small, intimate crowd, Rose’s presence leaves a lasting mark.
In 2015, with encouragement from her partner and collaborator Mick Adkins, Rose leaned into her deep love of blues rock and delivered the critically acclaimed Time Is Now.
Hailed by The Sydney Morning Herald’s Jessie Cunniffe as “high-octane with a rocking live vibe,” the album showcased Rose’s ability to move seamlessly between rock, blues, and country.
If you’re inspired by the soul of Etta James, the grit of Melissa Etheridge, the power of Bonnie Raitt, or the raw fire of Bon Scott and Robert Plant, then Rose Carleo is an artist you need to experience. One of Australia’s most commanding female rock voices — fierce, fearless, and unforgettable.
