Hey Rosetta!
Biography

In the words of lead singer Tim Baker...

Riding on the waves of their acclaimed live show & the stellar Plan Your Escape EP, Hey Rosetta! surges forward with Into Your Lungs (And Around In Your Heart And Through Your Blood).

Based in St. John’s, NL, the six-piece group is comprised of Tim Baker (vocals/piano/guitar), Adam Hogan (guitar), Josh Ward (bass), Phil Maloney (drums), Kinley Dowling (violin), and Romesh Thavanathan (cello).

Recorded in the dead of winter in two East Coast harbor towns with producer and acclaimed singer-songwriter Hawksley Workman, Into Your Lungs began with a beautiful naivety and confidence. An "off the stage" feel and vigor that is reminiscent of the band's powerful live performances rooted the recording sessions and everything was bred from and expanded from there. Conceptually, the new record is a shift from Tim's earlier compositions often written in isolation within his bedroom, to a new depth and space that comes from experiencing life on the road as a touring band. The new record packs more grit while allowing the bands infectious energy and vulnerability to flow freely.

Seeded by Tim after returning home to St. John’s in 2005, Hey Rosetta! quickly bloomed and grew from bars on George Street to showcases at Junofest, ECMAs, CMW & NXNE, along the way winning four MusicNL Awards and a couple ECMA nominations.
