Katina Rose has performed all over the Charleston area including bars, restaurants and numerous festivals. They put out a four song EP in 2014, called Out of the Garage, which is still available for digital download. In 2015 Katie Rose traveled around America with her family in their RV and performed in venues in many cities, including San Diego, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Sedona, Nashville and many others. She recently decided to go solo and is currently working with Rodney Liles and Andrew Chalk to perform her original music, as well as cover songs with her own unique twist. They spent the last six months in the studio working on the first Katie Rose album. That album, Everything Yesterday will be released in August and the first single, Wonder is available now. Katie loves music from all eras, particularly classic rock from the 70s and early 80s and current pop and alternative artists like Twenty One Pilots, Ed Sheeran and Fall Out Boy.
