Rosy Nolan plays Ruby's at the Red Dog Saloon

With her cowgirl hat, platinum bob and 1940s Western getups, L.A.-based artist Rosy Nolan looks like a throwback to the midcentury heyday of California honky-tonk legends such as Rose Maddox and Jean Shepard. But the San Francisco native honed her performance chops in riot-grrl and post-punk indie bands across the US and the UK before finding a home in L.A.’s tight-knit old-time community. Now a confident bandleader and guitarist whose vulnerable songs and onstage charm have endeared her to audiences across Southern California and around the US, Nolan is in the vanguard of L.A.’s latest Country music resurgence.
