About Rosie Flores:
Rosie Flores has pioneered a path in male-dominated rock and country scenes with powerful songs she has written, sung, and performed as a respected lead guitarist. A daughter of San Antonio, this multi-award-winning artist has absorbed and helped preserve the legacies of Texas greats such as Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys, T-Bone Walker, and Doug Sahm.
In the 1970s, Flores rose to prominence on the “cowpunk” circuit alongside Dwight Yoakam, Lucinda Williams, and Los Lobos. Her 1987 solo debut established her as a first-rank singer and songwriter and laid the foundation for the alt-country movement.
Today, she is spotlighted in the Country Music Hall of Fame’s exhibition Western Edge: The Roots & Reverberations of Los Angeles Country-Rock. Flores is a 2024 NEA National Heritage Fellow, and with Impossible Frontiers, she continues her lifelong journey of pushing musical boundaries while celebrating the rich traditions that shaped her artistry.
