ROSE KEMP is the daughter of Maddy Prior and Rick Kemp. She started her career performing live with the band Steeleye Span while still in her teenage years and contributed vocals to several albums by various folk artists. Her first solo album 'Glance' is an acoustic pop record, released on Park Records in 2003. She subsequently toured with The Oyster Band, appearing with them across the UK and Europe. 2004 saw a considerable change in the direction of Rose's musical output. She recorded a mini-album which is very much a rock record, with her playing electric guitar and taking charge of the arrangements and production for the first time. ROSE KEMP produced her second full length effort, 'A Hand Full of Hurricanes', at studios in Bristol and Cardiff. This album was released in February 2007 and then the follower 'Unholy Majesty' saw the light of day in the same year. The following time she had several appearances at acclaimed festivals (f.e. Roadburn, Burg Herzberg) and was touring with Porcupine Tree, Mono, Grails, to name a few. With her next album 'Golden Shrout' (2010) she could refine her style again, the songs are expressing her love for heavy prog rock and drone. The songs are minimalistic and hypnotic, some sort of psychedelic doom featuring heavy riffs and a strong unique voice. (Prog Archives).
