April 22 @ Spatz Theatre
Rooted in authenticity and conviction of voice, from driving opening track The Darkness to stark piano ballad Go First,
you feel as though Rose Cousins sings for you, about your life. It is
that sincerity that leads some to compare Cousins to our most beloved
songwriters, and yet, her passionate delivery is distinctly, Rose. From
writing songs from a tiny cabin without electricity on a New Hampshire
island (All The Stars, The Shell) to the
stage of one her many international tour stops her lone voice reaches
out to listeners, all of us surrounded by our own forms of darkness, and
charges us to have the courage to forge ahead.
It’s not surprising that Boston performers were quick to adopt Cousins when she started traveling there 8 years ago. To make We Have Made A Spark, she gathered her friends and collaborators Zachariah Hickman (producer) and Austin Nevins (who both play in Josh Ritter's Royal City Band), songwriters Rose Polenzani, Kris Delmhorst, Mark Erelli, Jennifer Kimball, Laura Cortese, Amy Correia, Ana Egge, Edie Carey, members of Session Americana Billy Beard & Dinty Child, and multi-instrumentalists Sean Staples and Charlie Rose together to make the record at well-known American studio (Q Division) used by James Taylor, Aimee Mann, Patty Griffin. Along with new music comes a short film called If I Should Fall Behind, about the heart of the community where the record was made.
