With a steady sequence of highly acclaimed albums and an ever expanding fan base, Eileen Rose has established herself as an eclectic artist who defies easy categorisation. Her richly melodic but starkly emotive songs, offbeat arrangements, rye, canny humour and electrifying live shows have gained her many fans across the world. Now, with an extraordinary new collection of songs, Eileen is poised to release her 5th and best album yet entitled, 'Be Many Gone'. She is also thrilled to announce that, she, along with collaborator/producer/partner in crime, Rich Gilbert, will launch their own record label, Holy Wreckords. Eileen Rose Giadone was born in Saugus, Massachusetts, a blue collar suburb north of Boston and has a Sicilian father and Irish mother. Using just her first name, Eileen Rose (Giadone is hard to remember and tough to pronounce), she started a band and cut her teeth in the Boston music scene. Her first musical venture was a self-released acoustic folk album with her band, Daisy Chain. In 1991, Eileen relocated to London and formed a band which would eventually be called Fledgling and sign to the now defunct TVT records. After the band split in the mid 90's, Eileen moved to Essex, started writing songs and playing solo gigs around London. One night she opened for Larry Love of techno-country mavericks Alabama 3, who was so impressed he offered his band to back her. Maverick Geoff Travis, head of the legendary Rough Trade label, saw one of their first gigs and offered Eileen a deal. She released 2 albums on Rough Trade. Her 2000 debut, 'Shine Like It Does' was recorded with members of Alabama 3 and had the British press reaching for superlatives like "sensational" (Sunday Times), "a gem" (Guardian) and "mesmeric" (Uncut). Time Out concluded that "few debut albums arrive so fully formed, so laden with wisdom, pain, magic and loss". Songs from the album were featured in a Disney movie and major television shows. The follow up, 2002's 'Long Shot Novena' - which features members of Del Amitri, legendary British punk band The Ruts and sometime Sex Pistol Glen Matlock - was even more rapturously received. The Times found it "stunning", while Uncut marveled at the "rare power, polish and perception". In 2003 Eileen returned to Boston, taught herself to play the piano and wrote her third album, 'Come The Storm'. She played a gig opening for 60's legend, Judy Collins who was so taken with her, she released 'Come The Storm' on her own label, Wildflower Records. Eileen spent the next few years touring US and Europe...playing festivals like SxSW, The Americana Music Association, Reading Festival etc. In 2008 Eileen then went to Detroit, to record an album with producers Al Sutton and Eric Hoegemeyer who'd worked with Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow. 'At Our Tables' was released on Floating World records and by now Eileen was regularly touring Europe with her band The Holy Wreck and had expanded her loyal fan base to Italy, Germany and Holland. Later that year she relocated to Nashville and in 2009 she recorded her 4th album 'Luna Turista'. It was then she began a fast and steady working relationship with the mainstay of The Holy Wreck, guitarist/multi-instrumentalist, Rich Gilbert, a fellow Bostonian, best known for playing guitar with much lauded 70's/80's Boston new wave band Human Sexual Reponse. With Be Many Gone, the next phase of Eileen's extraordinary career has begun - expect major plaudits for this stunning recording.
