THE ROSELINE

The Roseline (pronounced ‘rose’ like the flower, ‘line’ like a straight line) is a band from Lawrence, Kansas USA. They have released eight LPs and one live album, to date. They started out as a fairly delicate little acoustic trio and have since evolved into the heartland rock five-piece behemoth of their current state.

Good luck trying to coax any sort of braggadocious one-sheet “highlights” out of these humble Kansans. It will require some serious finesse. But if you insist…they have had four records chart in the TOP TEN in the wildly niche Euro Americana chart. Some very sweet words have been written about them in such esteemed publications and websites as NPR, Bandcamp, American Songwriter, No Depression, Glide, Pop Matters, and The Bluegrass Situation. They have had their songs featured (*barely audible as source music in the background of bar scenes) in ABC's ‘Nashville’ & ‘Resurrection’, CBS's ‘Marshals’, USA's ‘Queen of the South’, Netflix's ‘Virgin River’, and MTV's own Sistine Chapel, ‘Teen Mom’. They have toured in the US, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, the UK, Poland, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg.

The band recently returned from their UK debut as an Official Showcase act at 2025's UK Americana Music Week in London. However, they have not been accepted to showcase at the stateside Americana Fest for a record-breaking 17 consecutive years. Impressive stuff. They are currently hard at work on their ninth album (with a working title of ‘86 Gumption’) which is slated for an August 2026 release. Some UK and Sweden August ‘26 tour dates have been announced. DIY or die. That being said, totally open to acquiring managemnt, a booking agent, a record label, a publisher, a lawyer, a publicist, a radio promo person, and someone to kiss us on our foreheads each night and tell us we’re doing great. Stay tuned and play it loud.
