Rockers Help Support Eleven Year Old Rose Ostrowski for a Great Cause

BLOOMSBURG, Pa. - Oct. 15, 2015 - PRLog -- In late January of this year, 11-year old Rose Ostrowski from Berwick, PA released her cover of Tesla’s “Life is a River” to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The proceeds from song downloads are donated to the foundation in memory of her cousin, Camillia, who suffered from the disease and passed away as a result in 2012.

  Since its release, the song has sold over one hundred copies and its YouTube video has had a few thousand views, which were a result of many shares through social media. Much of this came through several local newspapers, television and radio stations that stepped up to support the cause and in turn, many of them fell in love with little Rose.

  “To much of her surprise, many rockers took a real liking to Rose and helped promote her music for the cause. Many would probably be surprised, there are some really great people out there” noted her father, Gene Ostrowski.

  “Musicians and bands such as Bill Leverty (FireHouse), WARRANT, Stryper, Bricklin, Roger Fisher (formerly of Heart), Andre LaBelle and Josette Miles were just a few that introduced our daughter to their fans. The icing on the cake was recently, when the members of Tesla stumbled across the cover of their song and put it out there for the world to see through the eyes of a 10 year old. It was really awesome and Rose was really ecstatic to say the least.”

  Many more have shared the song and video since, including Abi Ann, a rising country who toured with Kelly Clarkson this past summer.

  He continued, “Our family listens to a really wide variety of music, from opera to country and of course my favorite, rock-n-roll. Being a kid, she does listen to the pop stuff too but Rose reacts really well with rock- many of the older groups that my wife and I grew up listening to as teens. It’s really ironic how things work sometimes.”

  Although she’s performed at a handful of benefits in the past, most recently, the young talent has performed at several senior centers throughout her area to help promote her music and its cause. It will also help her gain experience in front of small audiences who are mostly young at heart.

  “I’m really excited about singing for the older people because they really enjoy it”, said Rose.
