Rose Kemp (*11 December 1984) is an English singer and guitarist from Carlisle. Her roots are in music. By now she mixes folk music with , , and .

Rose’s parents are Maddy Prior and Rick Kemp of the folk-rock band Steeleye Span. She began her singing career performing live with Steeleye Span while still in her teenage years. This led to her being invited to contribute vocals to several albums by various folk artists. In 1996 she and Maddy sang with The Carnival Band on their “Carols at Christmas” CD. In 2002 Park Records released the a cappella folk album “Bib and Tuck” by Maddy Prior and The Girls, a trio comprised of Maddy Prior, Rose Kemp and Abbie Lathe. Rose wrote, and sang lead vocals on, several of the album’s tracks. Rose’s first solo album “Glance”, an acoustic pop record, was released on Park Records in 2003. Rose subsequently toured with The Oyster Band as part of The Big Session, appearing with them across the UK and Europe and Nigeria.

2004 saw a considerable change in the direction of Rose’s musical output. She recorded a mini-album, originally entitled ‘The Free To Be Me E.P’ but later renamed simply ‘Mini-Album’, at Warehouse Studios in Oxford with members of The Fourers. The new recording was very much a rock record, with Rose playing electric guitar and taking charge of the arrangements and production for the first time in her career, which she has stated has taken some getting used to, given that she is not used to that.
