Music lost a great one when Jack Rose passed away in December. While his music is obscure, it is curious why the acoustic guitarist flew so far below the radar.
Rose emerged in 1998 with the acoustic group Pelt, before striking out on his own in 2006. Since then, he has released three albums, "Dr. Ragtime and Pals," "Jack Rose and the Black Twig Pickers," and the forthcoming "Luck in the Valley."
Rose died on December 5 of an apparent heart attack, an event that came too early for such a brilliant musician.
Friends will gather at the the Latvian Society of Philadelphia on February 13 to pay homage to the musician. Following are details:
