Entertainment Swindon

Jol Rose is a Swindon-based singer-songwriter, with roots in London. Jol has performed his raw mix of Americana acoustic folk on moving trains, stationary flat-bed trucks and remote Pacific islands, as well as being a well known face on the local Swindon live music scene too.

His debut album My Nebraska (2019), recorded and released in Swindon’s Earthworm Studios, mixed stateside influences with desolation and doubt from much closer to home.

2020 saw the release of Jol’s home-recorded, self-produced Welcome to Zombieland. Mixing fake news with the winged facts flying past the box room, captured by the condenser microphone, dystopia and fallen dreams come home to roost.

Peace Love Americana was Jol’s third album, featuring Rachael Birkin on fiddle (she appears on all three albums, and often live too), award-winning UK pedal steel player Holly Carter, fab keyboardist Jon Buckett (also on all three biscuits) plus – for the first time – wonderful Lewis Lord-Jenkins on drums, Drew Di Fiore on bass, and old friend Jason Serious on harmony vocals.

Liars & Thieves is the forthcoming album, due to be released early 2025. The first single from the album – with the title track plus Palestine, Free – was released summer 2024.
