We're Christopher Cook and Emmy Rose, an acoustic duo from Sebastopol, California. We play original music rooted in folk and blues.
"The music of Cook and Rose is like a majestic antique table. Intricately carved with scrolls and spirals, its dedicated craftsmanship carries stories both ancient and new. Timeless stories that dance right into your soul. And when they've finished playing, you're left at that table to feast on the memory. Trust me, you'll be feasting a long time." –Nicole Cortichiato, Art Spark Texas

It seems like I’ve lived the time that you’ve lived
But everyone sees a different world
And I know that you’ve been with artless travelers
Who unravel the wonder and take the stars out of the eyes
Of the sweetest girl
Why don’t you leave those boots down there in the sand?
They don’t really fit you, so begin again
And call me on your way if you need a hand
Because Colorado will always take you in

"It’s a rich and beautiful world
So much to see when you travel about
But when you’re a lonely girl
You can get lost in a house"

On the porch, the fireflies
Gather 'round the glow of your cigarette
Sittin' out in the evenin' time
‘Cause the house ain’t cooled off yet

I was born at sea
I'm not really from anywhere
But when I dwell near thee
I know you can hear me there

We must go to South America
The flowers are dropping from the vine
We will gather in the air tonight…

I thought one day I’d save you
Ridin’ up on a big white steed
But there you were holding out a cup
In my hour of need

Sue Ellen, are the roses still sweet -
That we passed on our way as we walked to the bay
Down at the end of the windy street?

The bees search the hillsides
for the sweetest drops of dew
They find them in the footprints
left there by you
