Kent Rose has blazed a trail in Chicago of original roots-country songs, hillbilly fashion, and soulful performance. Inspired by Hank Williams, Sr., Merle Haggard and Billy Joe Shaver, Kent carries the torch with his motto: The Roots Tradition Rolls On. His band, The Remedies, is composed of veteran talent that came together and forged a sound unlike any other. “Kent Rose: Chicago country music royalty.”  - Jon Langford of Waco Brothers and the Mekons“He's an old school yodeling honky-tonk dude! He writes some righteously twangin' originals.” - Chris Gillock of Evanston RoundTable“A great voice and outstanding material.” - Chris Casello, guitarist, singer, songwriter, producer, showman "He’s a throwback to the guitar-toting country troubadours of yesteryear and at the same time a product of the rock and roll era, certainly the only performer of his kind in the greater Chicagoland area". - Bill Dahl, music historian and journalist
