A veteran of the local underground and national indie scene in various projects, the NYC based songwriter’s pre musician days were as a collegiate and minor league baseball player for UCONN in Storrs, CT, and the Shenandoah Valley league for Winchester, Va. With pro stops in Salt Lake City and Thunder Bay, Ontario. The Oct 30 Mercury Lounge set will be the first official venue stop for Rosenthal with a full band, in support of his self titled debut solo LP. Due out in Winter of 2024. Mastered in Nashville by Justin Shturtz (Morgan Wallen, Dolly Parton).
Calling this conceptual direction "a thank you to all those who’ve inspired it," Rosenthal tips his cap to current genre benders Zach Bryan, Tyler Childers and Charley Crockett while remaining forever grateful to legends like Haggard, Waylon, Petty and McCartney for their timeless storytelling and delivery.
