The band's members include guitarist-songwriters Linda Picceri, Michelle Tanguay and Stephen Gilligan. Picceri (lead guitar & vocals) is a veteran of the Boston music scene, having performed with the Allen Estes Band. She is a proficient picker and a dynamic singer who has opened for Tom Rush and Livingston Taylor. Her solo CD, "Next Move", was nominated for Album of the Year by the Massachusetts Country Music Association. Linda infuses City of Roses with energy and spirit. New Hampshire resident Tanguay (guitar & vocals) became involved in the Boston folk scene during the early '80s, sharing the stage with Bob Franke, Dean Stevens, and Kenje Ogata. Her vocal style, likened to Alison Krauss, is soulful and lyrical. Michelle's playful sense of humor helps City of Roses create a warm and entertaining musical experience. Stephen Gilligan (bass guitar & vocals) first hit the Boston music scene in 1977 as a charter member of The Stompers. He has traveled the road, sharing the bill with such stars as The Beach Boys, the J. Geils Band, and U2. After leaving The Stompers in 1987 Steve worked as a solo artist, session musician, and music teacher until joining Linda and Michelle to form City of Roses in 1997.
