Rosie Flores (born September 10, 1950 in San Antonio, Texas) is a rockabilly and country music artist. Her music blends rockabilly, honky tonk, jazz, and Western swing along with traditional influences from her Tex-Mex heritage. She currently resides in Austin, Texas, where August 31 was declared Rosie Flores Day by the Austin City Council in 2006. 　　Rosie Flores was born in San Antonio, Texas, where she lived until the age of twelve, when her family moved to San Diego. In interviews, Flores has recalled that growing up, she loved to watch musical television shows like The Dick Clark Show and Hit Parade. She began singing as a young child, and her brother, Roger, taught her to play rhythm guitar when she was a teenager. 　　Flores formed her first band, Penelope’s Children, while still in high school in California. In the 1970s, Flores played the San Diego nightclub circuit and was the namesake of the alt country band Rosie and the Screamers. After leaving the Screamers, she joined a "cow-punk," all-female band called Screamin' Sirens in the 1980s. The latter band produced a series of 7-inch singles and tracks for compilation albums before releasing a single full-length recording in 1987, an album called Voodoo. 　　Flores's self-titled solo debut came out on Warner Bros./Reprise in 1987. The single, “Crying Over You,” put her on the Billboard charts for the first time. Since then, Flores has recorded ten additional solo albums.
