She has released more than 10 records in various guises, perhaps the best known though with her much loved duo Women in Docs. There have been rock records, folk tunes, country and more recently a successful move into musical theatre, the one constant through Roz’s career has been a drive to do her own thing and consequences be damned. And nowhere is that more apparent on her striking new solo album "Won't Be Quiet" (2021).Contact Roz: Website / Facebook / Instagram Song Credit: “Stand and Step” - Music and Lyrics by Roz Pappalardo.
