“My earrings are from Shoppers Drug Mart,” she cracked when she reached the podium, adding, “I just threw up in my mouth a little.”
Backstage, however, she was more reflective, still reeling from the week that was. The Boston Marathon bombing hit very close to home for Cousins. He winning album "We Have Made a Spark" was recorded with a tight-knit group of Boston musician friends and collaborators Rose has grown very close to over the past decade. A short film, "If I Should Fall Behind," was released alongside Cousins’ album, documenting this community.
