Vocal, flute, drums, & machines - that's ROSAWAY: A Pop-Jazz band hailing from Paris.  Distinctly French, somewhat theme-tune-style, and a whole lot of groovy, this four-piece group is a blend of past and present. Founding members Rachel Ombredane and Stéphane (AKA: SteF) Avellaneda have some weight behind them. Rachel studied classical flute and music at the Sorbonne and sang vocals for artists, including Ed SHeeran. SteF is an internationally renowned blues drummer who's played with and for the likes of BB King, Ben Poole, and Ana Popovic. 

After California, Memphis and New Orleans, it is in Paris that Rachel and SteF set down their bags and founded ROSAWAY in 2017. Inspired by their past experiences on the road with American artists from the Pop and Blues scene (Ana Popovic, Buddy Guy, Jonny Lang…), the two musicians imagine a groovy, mixed and “feel good” Soul carried by the airy voice by Rachel whose technique allows her to vary the colors going from soul to gospel to rock.  

 

A true travel diary, their latest EP “Dreamer” transports us to the roads of California, to the smoky jazz clubs of Chicago and to Frenchmen Street (New Orleans). ROSAWAY highlights their French identity, in their latest single “Midnight”, a tangy and very sixties pop with a chorus sung in French. 

The music festival will continue with a concert performances by Diali Cissokho & Kaira Ba on Februrary 3. All performances will begin at 8:00 pm in The Sitnik Theatre of the Lackland Performing Arts Center on the campus of Centenary University at 715 Grand Avenue, Hackettstown, NJ.  And Ticket prices for each performance are $25.00 for adults and $15.00 for students and children under 12.
