St. Louis, MO

All the soul and grit of blue collar Heartland Rock is present on “Roselle,” the standout single from St. Louis-based artist Nick Gusman. Gusman and his band explore a modern take on the Country-tinged blues and Southern Rock that shaped a generation. With a thumping rhythm, honky tonk piano, and that warm overdriven Telecaster tone, topped with harmonicas aplenty, “Roselle” serves up a refreshing slice of Americana, akin to a cold beer after a long day’s work.
