notes
Born of the diverse musical culture of the city which provides her name, the music of Chicago Rose evokes her hometown's many influences.
Driving her sweet yet solid voice is the musical diversity brought to mind by the city of Chicago.
Rose combines elements of pop, jazz, R&B, and even classical music into her rich vocal and instrumental performance.
Woven into her sound is a true musicianship missing in many vocalists.
Chicago Rose is a talented songwriter/arranger.
Her insightful original compositions enrapture any audience.
Her lyrics are hauntingly autobiographical, yet posses a universal view into the life of every listener.
From the restricted soul yearning for freedom-combined-with-support in her theme song "I Am a Butterfly," to "Amerasian Boy's" sexy, sultry desires of love just out of reach, to the devastation of losing a love most cherished in "You Meant the World to Me," Rose's words and music touch every soul.
Chicago audiences adore their native daughter, constantly encouraging Rose to bring her music to a wider market.
The songs presented are only a small portion of Rose's library of original compositions, all of which highlight her musical talent, richness and diversity.
The Princess of Chicago's Pianobars Chicago Rose, vocalist, pianist, flutist, songwriter, and arranger, is also known as Rose Winebrenner.
She has performed professionally for over ten years.
Rose has delighted audiences throughout the United States, Japan, and Germany.
Her most recent engagements have been with Kevin Adair, in Offenburg, Germany.
While in Offenburg, they performed their magical-musical cabaret show in a delightful establishment called Lindenhoe, owned and operated by entrepreneurs, Nico and Daniella.
Rose and Kevin got critical acclaim from the press.
Chicago Rose also currently headlines locally at Magnum's, one of Chicago and Lombard's premier gourmet restaurants.
She also fronts her trio, Chicago Rose Garden, at Philander's, a laid back restaurant and bar in Oak Park, Illinois.
A regular at these establishments, Rose sings and accompanies herself, and is often featured at special events, including New Year's Eve.
Her repertoire spans the jazz, pop, and rock spectrums.
Plus, Rose can sprinkle her performance with her own original compositions of various styles, enrapturing the audience and causing the Beach Boys' lead singer, Mike Love, to say, "That's my new favorite song!" Rose also recently appeared in the nationally touring show, Deception! in which performers use drama, music, and magic to enact difficult life situations that help students avoid being manipulated.
Chicago Rose presents a wholesome show that is perfect for any family- oriented venue, including festivals, fairs, colleges, restaurants, and special events.
Depending on the venue, Chicago Rose can perform an entire show solo, as she accompanies herself on her own grand piano, which can tour, or a smaller keyboard.
For larger venues, Rose fronts the three to four piece band, Chicago Rose Garden, which supports her unique blend of popular music from the 1930's through the 1990's, and killer originals.
Whether she is singing and playing in a quiet intimate setting, a large auditorium, or a loud upbeat room, Chicago Rose always involves her audience by taking requests, and encouraging people to sing and smile along with her.

author: John LawlerChicago Rose is wonderful.
author: Bruce JenkinsChicago Rose is wonderful. I Am a Butterfly is a very simple yet profound work. Her yearning lyrics in Hold Me made me feel so sad. I love her voice. It sounds so honest. I have bought Chicago Rose's Cd for everyone this xmas. I can't wait for her next CD.
I Love Chicago Rose
author: Nicole HarperWhen I first heard this CD I was driving across the state in my car on a solo road trip. I must've played it 5 times in a row, which is something I rarely do. Chicago Rose's music and lyrics really touched me. I felt as though I were listening to a kindred spirit. Her song Hold Me was like a flashback to a time when I, too was craving the physical connection with my love, who was always so caught up in a career that I felt like I was on the sidelines. I wish I could have played that song for him then! I've told all of my friends about her music & I'm giving them all Chicago Rose CDs for Xmas. I love Chicago Rose.
