Effervescent raconteur, Rosalee Peppard is a master musical oral historian who collects and transcribes an authentic living echo of the voices of Canadian women she interviews and researches. She crafts their stories into theatrical “song portraits”, and shares them powerfully, self-accompanied with dulcimer and guitar, (often wearing couturier costumes) in her “Hauntingly beautiful live performances”. In 2015, Rosalee was honoured to be the only artist invited to perform her LIVING TITANIC at the International Titanic Convention, and Titanic Belfast in Belfast, UK. Rosalee has published 3 CDs of this work, tours internationally and has received 2 Dr Helen Creighton Folklore Research Awards and a Colchester Heritage Award for her ongoing contribution to Canadian oral history.
