Young artist to perform during Peony Fest

Peony Festival information

The Peony Festival Committee has announced a special concert as part of the upcoming Peony Festival/Art-Rageous on Main weekend.

Connor Rose, an upcoming young Country artist, will be performing in Fountain Park, starting at 7 p.m. Saturday, June 6.

Just 19, Rose resides in Nashville, Tennessee, and is constantly working to improve his music. His typical day includes honing his songwriting, vocal performance and guitar. On his sixth-month anniversary in Nashville, Rose has had the privilege of writing with major songwriters and producers credited with many of the popular songs heard today. Following his first EP “The End of Tonight,” Rose is in the process of writing songs for his sophomore release.

The development of his unique style is the result of generations of musical influence. Growing up in a talented musical family meant that different forms of music surrounded Rose. His father is a bass guitarist and provides backup vocals for his band.

Rose’s first foray into learning an instrument himself came when he started to play the mandolin at 13. Later, he bought his first guitar (a Fender Telecaster), which he still plays.

After realizing that making music was his main goal, he began to showcase his talent in various venues across northwest Ohio and Nashville. He was quickly noted for his unique vocals and entertaining style, not to mention his love for spending time visiting with his fans in person, as well as through social media and after shows.

Rose has had the opportunity to be the opening act for mainstream Country artists such as Lonestar and Gretchen Wilson. In addition, Rose has had the opportunity to perform on a nation television format through the “Shotgun Red Variety Show”, which airs on the RFD TV Network. He has also performed on The General Jackson Showboat in Nashville.

Rose is excited to reconnect with his fans throughout Ohio and perform his newest originals from Nashville. His website can be found at www.ConnorRoseMusic.com and provides his Facebook fan page, videos, tour dates, photos and the opportunity to sign up to his mailing list.
