Holly Elise Rose

Holly Elise Rose is a singer–songwriter from the small village of Hinesburg, Vermont, whose work spans the indie, folk, and jazz genres. Now based in Salt Lake City, Utah, she began writing music at the age of 13 and has since been featured in concerts and festivals across Arizona and Utah, including Autumn Fest and the Wildernook Music Festival.

In 2009, Holly recorded her first acoustic album with award-winning producer Otto D’Agnolo, whose credits include The Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Beach Boys, Grace Potter, and Dan Fogelberg, among many others.

In November 2014, she submitted her original song “October” to the Songs for Life competition, a project of the CrowdCare Foundation supporting cancer research. The judging panel, which included The Piano Guys and American Idol finalist Kenz Hall, selected her composition as one of the winning entries. The track was later released on iTunes as part of the foundation’s compilation album.

Holly made her first television debut on Park City Television in December 2015, performing three original songs, and returned for a second appearance in February 2016, premiering the music video for her original song “Sober,” produced by JDM Optics.

In 2016, Holly received both the Grand Award for Best Original Song and the Fan Favorite Award in the Live and Amplified 48-Hour Song-Writing Competition with her original Christmas song, "Winter of Love".

Holly is also the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist for the oldies cover band Auld’sKool, which has opened for The Beach Boys and serves as the annual stage band for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in downtown Salt Lake City- performances that have placed her before audiences of more than 9,000 people.

Expanding her creative reach, Holly is currently composing across a diverse range of genres for film projects with Los Angeles–based independent filmmaker Jay Arcansalin, as well as for future sync-licensing opportunities in film and television.

Holly's original song "Slow Down" is featured in the upcoming Hollywood film "Above the Break" starring Cuba Gooding Jr., which is scheduled for release in 2026.

Holly is further collaborating with David Devaney of Vibehaus Studios, as well as with Joshua James and his band, whose work has been featured in the series Sons of Anarchy, on her debut full-band album, scheduled for digital release in summer of 2026.

As a sought-after soloist, Holly continues to perform for wedding ceremonies, holiday parties, special events, and corporate parties, with an extensive repertoire in jazz, blues, pop, and holiday classics. With a warm, inviting voice, Holly truly engages her listeners with such unique timbre that keeps her audience wanting more.
