Hi! I’m Annaliesa Rose and welcome to my website.
I’m so grateful to have the privilege to be working with all the fabulous musicians who I get to work with including David Patrick and musicians at Edinburgh’s jazz ‘n’ jive club on two occasions while in Edinburgh for the Fringe Festival, Daryl Wallis on my jazzy cabaret project Annaliesa Rose Sings the Peter Allen Songbook, Czech musicians I worked with in Czech Republic and Scotland; Emil Viklický, Petr Dvorský, Tomáš Hobzek and Daniel Bulatkin, and here in Australia Matt Lustri and Sam Mudie on guitar, Daryl Wallis on various other projects and jazz gigs here, John Burgess and Guy Vaughan-Smith on bass, Trevor Kettlewell on drums, and fabulous woodwind and brass players including ARIA award winner Miroslav Bukovsky (trumpet and flugelhorn and collaborating together in compositions) and Andrew Robertson (saxophones and flute) and two fabulous big bands, “In Full Swing” and “ConneXion” as well as many other musicians and projects.
My debut album (which you can also find on this website, Bandcamp and all streaming sites) feat. these brilliant musicians Miroslav Bukovsky as performer and composer, Michael Bartolomei, Phil Stack and Tim Firth. It was a lot of work that paid off and I’m proud to be able to share this project with you all and thank you so much for all who have had the opportunity to help with this work and also who enjoy this album.
Come along to any of my various gigs coming up in Canberra, Wollongong, Sydney and elsewhere and regarding further touring and recording and other projects… Watch this space!
For all of these opportunities in the past, present and future, I am truly grateful. Thank you to all who inspire me to be able to live my life doing what I love.
For now, I send you lots of love and hugs. May all of your dreams manifest and you live your life with passion, love and gratitude. 🌹🎵🎶🎵🎶

Annaliesa Rose is a versatile singer, musician and composer who has been involved in music and the arts for her whole life. Performing in clubs since 1999, Annaliesa has performed at many different venues, recently finishing a tour which comprised of two gigs in the Czech Republic (Brno and Františkovy Lázně) and a full run of shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival (receiving a 4 star review for her Peter Allen Show). Back in Australia she regularly performs in Wollongong (at Wests Illawarra, as part of Jazz & Blues Sundays at The Basement of The Illawarra Builders Club and the Illawarra Jazz Club’s Saturday gigs), Sydney (at “The Foundry616” jazz bar in Ultimo) and Canberra (at ‘Molly’ Bar and Albert Hall, among other venues including the National Gallery of Australia, The Canberra Wine House, The National Press Club) as well as at many clubs, hotels, bars, wineries and jazz festivals over the years. She also performed in the 2000 Olympic Games opening and closing ceremonies and other functions as part of the Millennium Marching Band.
With a passion for jazz, and after tuition from her mother Marjorie Shepheard, Annaliesa Rose went on to learn from Australia’s best of the best (especially in the jazz and contemporary world) Kerrie Biddell. From there she went on to study a Bachelor of Music in the elite jazz program at The Australian National University in Canberra where she was taught by many of Australia’s finest working jazz musicians. She then topped off her studies with a Master’s Degree in Arts Management at the Australian Institute of Music to better understand the workings of her industry.
Annaliesa recorded her debut album with Miroslav Bukovsky, Michael Bartolomei, Phil Stack and Tim Firth, titled “Is That Jazz?” which is available for purchase and streaming on Bandcamp and all streaming services.
Annaliesa Rose continues to focus on both performing and composing and is currently working on new projects which will come out in the near future including a new business venue to further sharpen her business skills and help expand the current portfolio for female composers. This will be a watch this space moment and I’ll explain soon when I actually have time to organise things.
