Rose-Lynn Harlan has been announced as the second special guest to perform at Kris Kristofferson’s exclusive London show on his birthday at Kenwood House on Hampstead Heath on Friday 22nd June as part of the Heritage Live Concert Series 2018. Other special guests include Rufus Wainwright, with more to be announced.
For this concert, Rose-Lynn Harlan will be performing music from the film Wild Rose starring Jessie Buckley in a tale about a young singer from Glasgow who dreams of making it to Nashville.
Rose-Lynn is born and bred in Scotland’s music city and tipped for fame by Radio 2 legend Bob Harris. As a young country singer from Glasgow she is looking to make her mark on both sides of the water. No US-country copyist, she is writing and singing the songs of where she’s from. The Kenwood performance will be the first time Rose-Lynn performs the original songs to a concert audience, giving music lovers an exclusive first listen of the music from movie. The soundtrack is released on Island Records later this year.
Directed by War & Peace’s Tom Harper, the Wild Rose cast also includes Julie Walters and Sophie Okonedo. Jessie Buckley has previously been seen in War & Peace, Taboo, Beast and BBC’s The Woman in White.
Wild Rose will be released in the UK in 2018.
Kris Kristofferson with special guests Rufus Wainwright, Josh Okeefe, and Rose-Lynn Harlan (Jessie Buckley) Friday 22nd June.
