Kelsey Rottiers

Somewhere between uplifting and heartbreaking, Kelsey Rottiers' fresh and real compositions bring a new perspective to the concept of forgiveness. With lyrics born out of vulnerability and strength, songs like "In the Rising Tide" echo "I'll be wading in the water" with the audience lifting their voices together like a church choir. Kelsey's music merges folk and indie sustenance with pop simplicity that will be imprinted in your mind like a brilliant sunset.

With eleven years of training under her belt after graduating from the Contemporary Music Center on Martha's Vineyard and receiving her Bachelor's Degree in Music at Cornerstone University in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Kelsey was joined by Derek Turcsanyi (guitarist, back-up singer, choir member, idea man) in 2009. Although there have been a few other rotating musicians on bass and drums since, The Rising Tide has become more of a concept than a traditional band. Whether solo, duo, or full band, the original style and honesty breeds music with hope and forgiveness.  www.kelseyrottiers.com
