Mama Rosin: A Groovy Trip Through Moriarty’s Soul

A musical project born from the creative spirit of **Moriarty**, the enigmatic French indie folk band, Mama Rosin dives deeper into the roots of Americana and the soul of blues. While Moriarty embraces a wider range of influences, Mama Rosin channels the raw, primal energy of classic blues, infused with a touch of folk and a generous helping of groovy swing.

Think Tom Waits meets Janis Joplin with a sprinkle of Nick Cave, and you’re starting to get a picture of Mama Rosin’s sonic landscape.

Driven by the powerful voice of **Carla Bruni’s** sister, **Caroline Corr**, Mama Rosin’s music is a journey through the darkest corners of the human experience, exploring themes of love, loss, longing, and rebellion. Each song is a story, a raw and honest confession, wrapped in a mesmerizing tapestry of bluesy riffs, soulful vocals, and a touch of that Moriarty magic.

The band, a tight-knit group of seasoned musicians, are the perfect partners for Caroline’s passionate delivery. **Baptiste Darquier**, the mastermind behind Moriarty, provides the musical backbone, weaving his guitar magic throughout the tracks. The synergy between the band members is palpable, resulting in a sound that is both intimate and powerful.
