Blue Rose, Jules Klee

Hailing from Chicago and fronted by Jori Rose Griffith, Blue Rose is a six-piece Americana country rock band, blending tight vocal harmonies, roots-driven songwriting, and full-band energy. Their debut album, Blue Moon (May 2025), debuted on the CDX TRACtion Americana radio airplay chart, marking the band's arrival on the national Americana scene. Known for a sound that draws as much from classic country storytelling as from rock and roll grit, the band continues to expand its reach with new singles rolling out into 2027, aheaid of a sophomore album.

Jules Klee writes Americana songs about loss, distance, love, and the strange places we go to find our way back. Her forthcoming record, Roses on My Table, grew from a complicated love marked by addiction, grief, and loss. This summer, Klee traveled 700 miles around Lake Michigan, mostly by bike, playing booked shows alongside impromptu sets—a botanical garden, a farmers market, a brewery, even a Tuesday-night slot-machine bar attached to a Piggly Wiggly. She wanted to put songs where no one was expecting them, in the middle of ordinary life.

We're writing four songs together, trading songs from each other's sets, and I'm bringing Rachel Swain, Brandon Good, and Riley Downes along for some big, glorious country harmonies. Two guitars, a whole lot of voices, and then Jori and the Blue Rose Band will take things somewhere entirely different.
