Born in Leith and raised in Edinburgh, Roseanne grew up in music, the eldest daughter of the Proclaimers' Craig Reid, and was taking her own first artistic steps by the age of 12, when she learned guitar, moving on to early performances at local folk clubs and open mic nights.
She took inspiration variously from Bob Dylan, Martha Wainwright and Peter, Paul and Mary, pursuing a folk path that led her, in 2014, to New York's Catskill Mountains, and Camp Copperhead, the songwriting workshop run by another of her guiding lights, Steve Earle. Since then, the widely acclaimed singer-songwriter released her first album, Trails. The unusual years surrounding lockdown and Covid-19, saw the production of her second album, Lawside. Named after a residential area of Dundee, and recorded in Perth, Roseanne’s latest album is much closer to home.
