The mighty rockabilly filly with the killer turquoise blue axe has a new album coming out next month – her eleventh, to be exact. Working Girl’s Guitar by Rosie Flores, set for an October 16 release, features a title track that’s the perfect ode to her respective tool of the trade. All the guitar-playing you hear on the new album is done by Flores, a first for the world-renowned songwriter. And when you think about it, that guitar has probably seen more cities, concert halls, parties and studios than most people would in their lifetime. Rosie reigns supreme.

The San Antonio-born Flores has made her mark as a prominent musician and performer not only in the Live Music Capital but in Nashville and Los Angeles as well. She continues to impress critics, fans and colleagues alike with her signature blend of rockabilly, swing, country, honky tonk, and surf. She’s topped Billboard charts, played huge music festivals worldwide, and has had her music featured in film and on TV. This Austin Music Hall of Fame inductee is truly a super star who always deserves a big celebration.

Speaking of which, Flores is celebrating her birthday today with a show tonight at The Continental Club, 1315 S. Congress Ave. The music starts at 10 p.m. Come out and wish Rosie a happy birthday. Highly recommended.
