Rosie Tucker

An alternative singer/songwriter whose tuneful, thoughtful guitar pop paints evocative scenes and emotions of the everyday, Rosie Tucker emerged from Los Angeles with their sparse debut album, Lowlight, in 2015. They were soon working with a regular backing band both on tour and on albums such as 2021′s Sucker Supreme, their third long-player.
A Los Angeles native, Tucker attended the University of Southern California, where they earned a Bachelor of Music. It was during their time at USC that they self-released first album Lowlight in 2015. A set of acoustic-guitar songs, it was recorded with producer Casey Barth (Kacy Hill, Julia Michaels).
Tucker spent some of the next few years playing bass and writing songs for the post-rock band Gypsum while also performing solo. They had switched to electric before recording the fleshed-out, Wolfy-produced Never Not Never Not Never Not, which featured contributions from guitarist Anna Arboles and drummer Jessica Reed. It arrived on New Professor Music in 2019. While not their first time writing on queer experience, the song “Gay Bar” connected with listeners, garnering hundreds of thousands of streams. Two years later, their third studio album returned Wolfy (production, bass) and drummer Reed and brought in Jess Kallen on guitar. Titled Sucker Supreme, it marked Tucker’s debut for Epitaph. ~ Marcy Donelson
