Sequoia Rose is an award winning multi instrumentalist and vocalist currently residing in Humboldt County, California. Born and raised in South Western Pennsylvania Sequoia grew up playing guitar in a musical family who played at church, revivals, and local bluegrass events where they quickly became a crowd favorite in the area. Sequoia started playing mandolin with some of the best bluegrass bands in the area when they were 14 years old, becoming an established music teacher at 16, and by the time they were 18 years old they recorded a three song EP with some of the best pickers of our time including four time grammy award winning multi Instrumentalist Andy Leftwich, Scott Vestal who was was awarded Banjo Player of the Year in 1996 by the International Bluegrass Music Association, award winning guitarist Cody Kilby - National Flat Pick Guitar Championship: 1998, 2007 Grammy Award Winner for The Best Bluegrass Album of The Year - Randy Kohrs, and Grammy Award winning and long time member of Allison Krauss and Union Station - Barry Bales. After recording the EP Sequoia got the call to hit the road with Country Gospel Band "64 to Grayson" playing three to five times a week and becoming a favorite in the Gospel Music scene. Sequoia recorded one album with 64 to Grayson and toured with them for several years. During this time Sequoia entered the West Virginia Mandolin State Championship and came in First Place! The following year Sequoia entered the West Virginia State Championship for Guitar and also won First Place! Itching to get back to bluegrass, Sequoia recorded a single "Crazy Heart" with grammy award winning guitarist Clay Hess, and John Bellew. Shortly after releasing the single, Sequoia began looking for other opportunities and got a call from the late James King to play mandolin for him! Thrilled at the chance to play with a bluegrass legend Sequoia wasted no time and drove straight down to Virginia, got in a 15 passenger van, and played 150 shows in a years time with the 20 year "Rounder Records" Veteran. During this time Sequoia played at some of the most notable Bluegrass Festivals and Venues of the time including Grey Rox Bluegrass Festival in Oak Hill, New York, The Bean Blossom Bluegrass Festival, in Morgantown, Indiana, The Musicians Against Childhood Cancer Festival in Marengo, Ohio, The Freight and Salvage Theater in Berkeley California, The Station Inn in Nashville Tennessee, and countless others.
