The Rosellys blend country, roots and bluegrass, bringing together banjo, fiddle, guitars, pedal steel, accordion, bass, drums and soaring vocals into a distinctive, harmony-rich sound.
Performing an all-original repertoire, they are influenced by artists including Chris Stapleton, The Steeldrivers, Alison Krauss & Union Station, and their music is shaped by extensive travels through America, especially Texas and Louisiana.
Their upbeat live shows combine tight musicianship with “extremely fine harmonies” (Maverick Magazine). Rebecca’s “honeyed tones” (R2 Rock n Reel) sit alongside their “stirring, moving and classy fiddle and banjo-centric songs” (Americana UK), creating what BBC Radio Ulster describes as “a brilliant band and a good example of that crossover where Britain meets America.”

Partner of Rebecca Rosellys for over 20 years. A semi professional fiddle player since the age of 12, he also plays guitar and provides backing vocals. Influenced by Ry Cooder, Chris Stapleton, Delbert McClinton and James Taylor. Simon plays a custom Rosellys Aubade guitar inspired by James Taylor’s Olson guitar, built specifically for his distinctive pickless playing style.
Rebecca has played guitar for over 20 years and is an accomplished banjo player. She plays a custom Rosellys Aubade acoustic guitar built for her in Louisiana and a Pisgah 5 String Dobson Rambler Banjo hand-made in the Appalachian mountains. A mother of two and a qualified doctor, she is the main vocalist and songwriter for The Rosellys and very much the heart of the band.
Allan, Simon’s father, has been playing guitar, mandolin, accordion and pedal steel for decades. A member of The Bon Temps Playboys since the 1980s, he has toured extensively and has featured on The Rosellys’ recordings from the very beginning. Aside from Simon and Rebecca, he is the longest serving member of the band.
George, Matt’s son, played his first show with The Rosellys just before Covid. He stayed with the band through the shutdown and has been their drummer since live music got back on its feet.
Matt, George’s dad, joined The Rosellys in 2015 - having played bass and providing vocals for a wide range of bands ranging from blues to indie to hip-hop. Now firmly rooted in Country Matt has toured and played an extensive number of shows but loves nothing better than providing a solid foundation for the band as part of a tight rhythm section’ Matt uses Fender and Epiphone Basses and TC Electronic and Ampeg Amplification
George, Matt's son, is the youngest member of The Rosellys, providing the solid rhythms that underpin the band's alt country and Americana sound. His confident, instinctive drumming brings energy and drive to every performance.
