About Me

While not yet a household name, Rosyvelt has been quietly toiling away in the Northwest music scene for six years, steadily gaining notoriety amongst a growing base of fans in the area while shaping and reshaping what was to become Applied Science. After the breakup of their previous band in 1998, singer/guitarist Jeff Henry and drummer Sam Jansons began playing as a duo in Olympia, Washington. Two years later they moved to Seattle and, in 2003, songwriter and producer/engineer Louis O'Callaghan (The Graze, Utah Anvil) joined the band on bass. And Seth Howard joined Rosyvelt somewhere during the 2005 show cycle. It is a little blurry when exactly. Applied Science captures the chemistry and energy Rosyvelt brings to every show. Over the heady mix of country, rock, and pop, Jeff Henry's heart-wrenching vocals cover themes of love, loss, and the wonders of biology.
