Some memorable quotes from those who knew her best:  Hunter S. Thompson called her "One king-hell songwriter... Rosalie's songs are so close to the bone that I get nervous listening to them;"  Studs Terkel said "Rosalie Sorrels sings songs the way you've always hoped they'd be sung: Deeply felt, effortlessly, and altogether lovely;" and the late Malvina Reynolds said "She is such a rollicking anti-hero, such a gusty woman, adventurous, curious, and ironically optomistic... The woman is a first rate poet-songwriter, a great performer, and a genius storyteller, and her life is rich with experience that informs everything she does."  And a Rolling Stone magazine reviewer wrote:  "Rosalie Sorrels, who must know a million songs, can sing each one as if it's her life story.'  See  www.rosaliesorrels.com for more info.

Rosalie returns to this venue during June when she will also be performing at the Annual Kate Wolf Festival in Laytonville, and at the Freight and Salvage in Berkeley.   Rosalie's 25th album "Strangers in Another Country: The Songs of Bruce "Utah" Phillips" was nominated for a Grammy as Best Traditional Folk Album in 2005.  Among her numerous awards, Rosalie was the recipient of her hometown Boise (Idaho) Peace Quilt Project in 2001.

What if all of your favorite musicals were rolled together into one compact über-show? This crowd pleaser is a melting pot of musical bliss that manipulates the classic "I can't pay the rent!" story in five acts. Each act references and parodies the style of Broadway's brightest: Rodgers & Hammerstein (Oklahoma!), Stephen Sondheim (Sweeney Todd), Jerry Herman (Hello, Dolly!), Andrew Lloyd Webber (Phantom of the Opera), and Kander & Ebb (Cabaret). This smash will keep you laughing from start to finish with sharp wit and puckish energy.
