On her forthcoming record, “Conditions of Love – Vol. 1”, Rose Cousins holds our hands as she guides us on a journey through the “conditions of love.” Ever the emotional explorer, the acclaimed, Nova-Scotia-based folk artist seeks truth, in all its imperfection, in the depths of our most complicated of emotions: love.

Co-produced with trusted friend and longtime bandmate Joshua Van Tassel, this new collection of songs sees Rose return to her first love, the piano. Piano is where I feel the most connected. Its the best partner in expressing the emotion Im mining, she shares.

Roses work as garnered her two JUNO Awards (2013s We Have Made a Spark & 2021s Bravado), two Canadian Folk Music Awards, eleven East Coast Music Awards and one Grammy nomination (2018s Natural Conclusion), along with praise from the likes of the CBC, No Depression, LA Times, Billboard, Folk Alley, and NPR, who raved Cousins disarmingly fluid vocal tone has the ability to convey the most internalized feelings without an ounce of fuss. Over the years, she has shared stages with Patty Griffin, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Jann Arden, Bruce Cockburn, Josh Ritter, Kathleen Edwards, Joe Henry, Aoife ODonovan and Anais Mitchell, and her music has fittingly underscored scenes from notable TV shows including Greys Anatomy, Fire Country, Station 19, and Batwoman, along with several independent films.
