The genesis of Rosedale Junction was to create a musical vehicle that represented, "Blues Americana", that is, foundational blues as well as the related genres that the blues spawned.  The band’s name is derived from blues legend Robert Johnson's alleged pact with the devil. Some say it was made at the crossroads of Highway 1 and Highway 8  just south of Rosedale, Mississippi.  Beyond the metaphor of Johnson being at a decision point with his choice to sell his soul in return for the ability to play guitar, the crossroads can also be seen as the junction  of  all music derived from the blues:  Americana, rock ‘n’ roll, country, folk, bluegrass, etc.

Rosedale Junction is the crossroads of traditional American born and raised blues, country, bluegrass, R&B and good old-fashioned rock 'n' roll.  

Founded by multi-instrumentalist and award-winning songwriter, Toby Soriero, the band’s 2021 debut album, Stompin’ on the Front Porch, was nominated for Album of the Year by Blues and Roots Radio. Their 2022 follow-up album, The Last Rodeo, reached number one on Roots Music Reporting’s Country Blues chart. Several of the groups' songs, including their holiday single, Sleigh Bell Blues, have been featured on Joe Bonamassa’s personally curated Spotify playlists. Their last album, Goin’ off the Rails, featured 309 Buckland Street, winner of the 2023 New England Songwriting Competition (Blues Category). Their latest album, Corn Flakes and Coffee, features seven new original tracks that reflect the band’s continued journey across the country music spectrum.
