Jamie Posey
Guitar / Vocals / Harmonica
Jamie Posey, from Meridian, Mississippi earned his stripes in Honey Blonde (another Oxford based act that toured regionally from 1998-2002) playing lead guitar, harmonica and vocals. Having recently picked up the slide, Posey adds another dimension to instrumental side of Rocket 88. Posey has lived and played music in Oxford for the better part of a decade and currently resides there.
Rosamond Posey
Vocals / Acoustic Guitar / Beauty
Rosamond, from Vicksburg, Mississippi, also honed her skills serving as the rhythm guitar player and vocalist for Honey Blonde. She plays strong and aggressive while her voice has evolved into something one could describe as a cross b/w Stevie Nicks and Lucinda Williams. Trained as a classical pianist for 15 years, Rosamond first picked up the guitar in 1997 while at Ole Miss regularly playing The Gin, (a renown Oxford tavern now closed) with life long friend and later fellow Honey Blonde member, Virginia Abraham. Now almost a decade later, she is an accomplished rhythm guitar player and has expanded her repertoire by recently picking up the violin.
