Rose’s musical odyssey has twisted and turned through the folk era, Chicago’s late ‘60s/early ‘70s rock scene, a short stint in teenaged country star Tanya Tucker’s road band, a spot playing saxophone in a vintage soul combo, and subbing with Chicago's legendary Sundowners. Since 2001 he has been performing his original wonderfully crafted material solo. In 2016 a band formed around his music, The Remedies.
