Blue Roses is a Laura Groves project. She lives in the town of Shipley, UK, where she writes songs for various instruments, some of which she can play, some of which she can’t (but tries to anyway) & watches the interesting folk go by. The project débuted with an eponymous album, "Blue Roses" (Apr 2009, XL). Laura’s live gigs are played with guitar & piano, have included appearances with Final Fantasy, Jeremy Warmsley, Jeffrey Lewis & Tilly and the Wall. She contributed "Bridges" to the “50minutes” charity compilation (Oct 2006, EXERCISE1), with Daniel Johnston, Ladyfuzz & Emmy the Great. Groves changed her name in Nov 2008, writing in her MySpace blog "As I've been recording and working on new things throughout the year I feel like I'm in a different place musically to when I started out, so it seemed appropriate to become something new".
