Roscoe James Irwin (born 21 February 1984) is a singer-songwriter, trumpetist and arranger/composer from Melbourne, Australia
Born to a classical soprano mother, and a folk loving father, Roscoe was raised in the Dandenong Ranges in Victoria. Roscoe's musical life was born at home. At age 9, he was welcomed into a Brady Bunch-esque stepfamily of brass players, pianists and conductors .Learning from his brother in-law, Roscoe showed early talent as an instrumentalist, and very quickly developed as a jazz trumpet player. Influenced by the greats like Miles Davis, Clifford Brown and Louis Armstrong. At age 15, Roscoe was already working professionally as a jazz and commercial trumpeter, playing pubs, restaurants and clubs in his hometown Melbourne.
Since those early days, Roscoe has never looked back. Aside from his solo career, he has ended up working as a multi-instrumentalist and sideman with artists like Megan Washington, Brooke Fraser, Magnolia and Tinpan Orange. His involvement with seminal Australian bands The Cat Empire and The Bamboos, to his highly ambitious compositions and arrangements that have been performed by countless big bands and orchestras have cemented him in the Australian music industry. Most recently he has also added co-writer, arranger and producer credits to this list, for bands and artists like Lanu, Felix Riebl, The Cat Empire, and The Bamboos.
