Rosie & the Riveters are four sassy dames from Saskatoon who perform uplifting music with a 1940’s flare, combining The Andrews Sisters’ vintage vocal treatment with Mahalia Jackson’s soul and the sweetness of The Good Lovelies. They’re delighted to announce their prairie spring tour celebrating their album, Good Clean Fun! which reached #5 on the CBC Radio Top 20 and #9 on the earshot! folk/roots/blues chart in the fall of 2015.

“We’re so excited to get back on the road with our new album; and I’m bringing my baby again! As the littlest Rosie at only 8 months old, she’s happy to watch me and her honorary aunties sing and dance every night. Bonus: there’s no better way to calm a fussy baby in the tour van than with lullabies in four-part harmony.” - Farideh Olsen
Rosie & the Riveters sold out shows across the country at venues such as the Broadway Theatre in Saskatoon (400+ tickets) and the Calgary Folk Club (350+) with their album release tour in the fall. Recent media highlights include: a CKUA podcast of a live performance, an appearance on eTalk Canada and guest spots on CBC’s The Next Chapter and CBC Music’s How-To Series.
To see the ladies live is to become a Rosie & the Riveters fan. With months of rehearsals in dance studios and years of experience as professional musicians, the ladies pull together sophisticated harmonies, body percussion, scintillating dance moves, and humour to connect in a big way with their audience. Along with whoops, hollers, mile-wide smiles, and matching 1940s dresses, the group offers a spectrum of music for all ages that includes their own original catalogue plus crowd-pleasing covers such as Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy.
