About the Artist
Rachel Rose is a Brooklyn-based folk/rock singer-songwriter who has crafted a rich, nostalgic sound with her signature soulful voice. Since the release of her debut EP, 100/10/1, in 2020, Rose has worked with Charles Myers (Yebba, Mark Ronson), John Alagia (John Mayer, Dave Matthews), and Tyler Chester (Madison Cunningham, Joan Baez).
In 2023, Rose captivated audiences with sold-out performances at Rockwood Music Hall and Baby’s All Right. Her original song “Back to the Beginning” was selected as a finalist in NPR Tiny Desk’s Top Shelf segment, and she appeared on The Tonight Show’s Battle of the Instant Songwriters with Jimmy Fallon. Rose’s impressive journey continued in 2024 as an official SXSW artist as well as a featured vocalist singing the national anthem at a sold-out New York Rangers game at Madison Square Garden. Sharing the stage with Brynn Cartelli, Rozzi, and Hayes Warner, she performed to a nearly sold-out crowd at Brooklyn Bowl. Later that year she delivered the same electrifying performance to another packed-out house at Bowery Ballroom. She is currently working on her full-length album due to premiere in 2025 and 2026.

We respectfully acknowledge that Montclair State University occupies land in Lenapehoking, the traditional and expropriated territory of the Lenape. As a state institution, we recognize and support the sovereignty of New Jersey’s three state-recognized tribes: the Ramapough Lenape, Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape, and Powhatan Renape nations. We recognize the sovereign nations of the Lenape diaspora elsewhere in North America, as well as other Indigenous individuals and communities now residing in New Jersey. By offering this land acknowledgement, we commit to addressing the historical legacies of Indigenous dispossession and dismantling practices of erasure that persist today. We recognize the resilience and persistence of contemporary Indigenous communities and their role in educating all of us about justice, equity, and the stewardship of the land throughout the generations.
Programs in this season were made possible, in part, by the Alexander Kasser Theater Endowment Fund, PEAK Patrons, and the New Jersey State Council on the Arts.
PEAK Performances develops, presents, and produces a broad range of world-class dance, film, master classes, music, opera and music theater, talks, and theater in the Alexander Kasser Theater on the campus of Montclair State University for students, faculty, staff, and the general public. We are building community through live performance. PEAK Performances is a program of the university’s Arts + Cultural Programming Department.
