"The Lost Coast" is the debut CD from Ivan Rosenberg. Now out of print but available at CD Baby, iTunes, and other outlets as a digital download.

Nine of the eleven tracks on The Lost Coast are original instrumentals, which feature fine pickers including John Lowell, Julie Elkins, Ben Winship, and Dave Thompson (Kane's River); Eric Uglum and Marshall Andrews (Lost Highway); Jason Mowery (Keith Urban Band); Janet Beazley and Mason Tuttle (Chris Stuart & Backcountry); and Chad Manning (The David Grisman Bluegrass Experience).

Dobro and banjo player Ivan Rosenberg has released 4 CDs of mostly-original instrumentals and an instructional DVD. Bluegrass Unlimited magazine wrote, "It is only a matter of time until Ivan Rosenberg becomes universally recognized as one of the more prolific masters of the resonator guitar," and Banjo Newsletter editor Donald Nitchie wrote that Ivan's latest CD Clawhammer and Dobro was one of the best instrumental recordings of the year.

Ivan currently plays select festivals and concerts with the Vancouver, BC-based alt. bluegrass band The Breakmen and with the old time/world music quartet Mighty Squirrel from Washington State. Ivan has also performed and/or recorded with many top musicians including Billy Cardine and Mary Lucey of The Biscuit Burners, Chris Stuart & Backcountry, Chad Manning, Hit & Run, Jake Schepps, Julie Elkins & David Thompson, Ben Winship, and Mike Grigoni.

Ivan's workshop experience includes The Sore Fingers Week bluegrass camp in the UK (2004), the British Columbia Bluegrass Workshop (2003-2007), the California Bluegrass Association music camp in California (2004, 2005), and Camp He Ho Ha in Edmonton, Alberta. This year's workshops include The Puget Sound Guitar Workshop and the BCBW.


Ivan’s original music has appeared in several film and television scores including Jerry Bruckheimer/Warner Brothers Films' Kangaroo Jack, HBO's Making Deadwood: The Show Behind the Show, Comedy Central's The Daily Show, The Oprah Winfrey Show, and High Plains Films' acclaimed documentary Libby, Montana.
