Emerald Rose is Simple Abnormality’s pick for this week’s professionals. More than just a general music band, these guys are also a great group to camp out with as I learned one year during Autumn Meet; being able to listen to Larry play the pennywhistle after breakfast in the misty morning woods was a beautiful experience.
North Georgia denizens Logan Sullivan, Larry Morris, Aurthur Hinds and Cylde Gilbert created Emerald Rose back in 1996 and it’s been a non-stop growth for them ever since. Currently, they have released five CD’s of pagan flavored Celtic American Folk Rock with Con Suite being the latest one.
The boys have played on two soundtracks and headlined The Lord of the Rings Oscar parties back in 2003 and 2004. They also began doing Ireland tours that gather a group once a year to go back “home”. And that is all in addition to still playing local spots in their home state, as well as playing for con’s all across the country.
