Rosanne Cash

Following on from her sold out Brudenell show in July 2014, Rosanne Cash returns to The Brudenell almost a year to the date. With one difference - she now has THREE more Grammy Awards than she had this time last year!

PLEASE NOTE THIS SHOW IS ALL STANDING WITH VERY VERY LIMITED SEATING

With three Grammy wins in 2015 (best American roots performance, American roots song and Americana album), one Grammy win in 1985 for "I Don't Know Why You Don't Want Me", twelve other Grammy nominations, eleven number one country hit singles, twenty one Top 40 country singles, and two gold records - Cash has a pedigree and success like no other.

Touring her new album “The River and the Thread”, which has received so much positive press we believe this an album that is perfect from the first note to the last. All songs on the album have been written with Cash’s longtime collaborator (and husband) John Leventhal, who also served as producer, arranger, and guitarist. The album also features a long list of guests from young guns like John Paul White (The Civil Wars) and Derek Trucks to such legends as John Prine and Tony Joe White.

The River and the Thread draws heavily on the landscape of the American South. The album’s unique sound, which draws from country, blues, gospel, and rock, reflects the soulful mix of music that traces its history to the region. In making the album, Rosanne journeyed through the South and on the way, Memphis, the city of her birth and a place that had a profound impact on the album’s direction. “I went back to where I was born, and these songs started arriving in me,” says Rosanne Cash. “All these things happened that made me feel a deeper connection to the South than I ever had. We started finding these great stories, and the melodies that went with those experiences.” Rosanne and John visited the studio of Sun Records, and watched their own son strum a guitar in the same room where her father cut his first record. “The connection to Memphis is powerful and deep” says Cash.

Rosanne’s previous two albums, Black Cadillac and The List were both nominated for Grammy Awards; The List—an exploration of essential songs as selected and given to Rosanne by her father, Johnny Cash was also named Album of the Year by the Americana Music Association. In addition, her best-selling 2010 memoir, Composed, was described by the Chicago Tribune as “one of the best accounts of an American life you will likely ever read.”
