Introducing Stacy Renfroe, UTR Vocalist!

Stacy Renfroe is now our lead vocalist! He's been making music in and around Birmingham for years both in bands and as a solo artist. His solo material perfectly displays his skills in writing songs, playing guitar, and seamlessly blending complex vocal harmonies into heavy music. We're excited about the effect he is having on Under the Rose's new material and about his own material that he brings into the band.

Stacy has a wide range of influences but draws heavily from classic rock, metal, and grunge. Some of his greatest influences include Led Zeppelin, Alice in Chains, Alter Bridge, and Dio. His smooth voice rounds out Under the Rose's jagged edges and counterbalances the percussive elements present in our heaviest songs.

Stacy and I (Aaron) have known another for about a decade, but until recently, we had never worked together on a creative project. After the release of Nineveh, I became overwhelmed at the prospect of sifting through the backlog of half-written Under the Rose songs in order to find material for our next project. I reached out to Stacy to gauge his interest in helping us with a few songs, and we quickly realized that we would be able to do some pretty cool things together. It all came together pretty quickly.

We look forward to bringing you Stacy's vocal stylings very soon!
