The Grand Ole Opry<\/a>, a stage she has graced many times since starting her career in\u00a0Music City at the age of 19.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\nThe wide range of artists she will support and play with is no doubt a testament to her powerful and dynamic voice which could sing any genre beautifully.\u00a0\u201cI try to just trust it and let it take me all the places that it\u2019s taken me thus far,\u201d says Rose of her impressive vocals.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her voice has taken her from her hometown of Potomac, Maryland to the center of it all, Nashville. \u00a0As a\u00a0teenager\u00a0Rose played in a Bruce Springsteen tribute band which\u00a0was garnering some attention and at the urging of record executive\u00a0Tommy Mottola\u00a0she decided to leave college for Nashville and give her career a real chance.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel lucky that I was supported by my family to move here when I was a teenager because it was definitely a deviation from what a lot of people from my hometown were doing when I\u00a0was 19,\u201d says Rose who has now put out four albums.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI also feel like it\u2019s been hard earned,\u201d adds Rose\u00a0of\u00a0her career trajectory. \u00a0\u201cI feel like\u00a0there\u2019s\u00a0so much that remains to be seen and peoples understanding of my music and the path that\u00a0I\u2019ve\u00a0taken it on and I\u2019m hoping that it connects with people on a much broader level too.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her 2024 No One Gets Out Alive\u00a0earned her a Grammy nomination for Best Americana Album and was a\u00a0landmark album showing her depth as a songwriter and vocalist.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She now tours with her husband and manager Austin Marshall and her son Graham, a gift in life that she does not take for granted.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s really cool because a lot of this music is so much about anticipating his arrival and who I was before he arrived and who I was going to become and it\u2019s kind of cool to be out here living it and sharing this music for the first time with him by my side.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
No One Gets Out Alive also helped Rose remind audiences that not all music coming from Nashville\u00a0has to\u00a0fit\u00a0inside a little box checked off only for country music, an understanding that Rose agrees needs recalibrating. \u00a0With her upcoming album, Half Moon, Rose is once again filling the tracks with the wide range of influences that she\u00a0formed her\u00a0artistic\u00a0style.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u201cI think this is a little bit more uptown,\u201d describes Rose of Half Moon, due out August 14. \u201cPerhaps there\u2019s\u00a0timelessness to the chordal arrangements and I think\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0a little more wistful and that\u00a0probably has\u00a0a lot to do with what I was going through at the time. It was a very\u00a0enchanted\u00a0time\u00a0where\u00a0I was just so overwhelmed with love and emotion. I feel like\u00a0there\u2019s\u00a0a sort of romance to some of these songs that have\u00a0maybe led\u00a0me to a little bit of a sonic departure.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rose credits her\u00a0collaborators and producers Lawrence Rothman and Daniel Tashian for helping her channel the sound she chased and her love for artists like Dusty Springfield and Petula Clark.\u00a0Her first single from the album \u201cRed Shoes\u201d sets the tone for the album and this chapter in Rose\u2019s life where she invites everyone to\u00a0celebrate themselves and the moment.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a good time,\u201d\u00a0agrees\u00a0Rose.\u00a0\u201cThere\u00a0are\u00a0some\u00a0very light\u00a0and\u00a0ebullient\u00a0songs on the record and\u00a0there\u00a0are\u00a0some more introspective,\u00a0darker songs and that adds to the duality of the\u00a0music\u00a0but\u00a0I\u00a0wanted to start with a happier tone. Also,\u00a0that was\u00a0me\u00a0writing a song about\u00a0maintaining\u00a0that carefree person that is within me even after going through this big transformation,\u201d she says.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m\u00a0out on the road playing these songs now after having worked on this record for a year and\u00a0I\u00a0realize that times are not the easiest for everybody but this is a song that hopefully allows us to access that joy so\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0for everybody to have fun and remember whatever our red shoes are we can get to that place.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rose has been a frequent performer at The Grand Ole Opry since 2012. a relationship she holds dear.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like I\u2019m just a small part of an institution that\u2019s been sustained for a long time, like a 100 years, because they keep analyzing what is out there and mining the best of what Nashville has to offer. I think that they are always trying to cast a wider and wider net of what they bring to that stage so\u00a0I\u00a0feel like\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0helping push the boundaries of what you would typically expect to hear from the\u00a0Opry\u00a0and I\u2019m trying to do that in a\u00a0lot of the places that\u00a0I\u2019m in.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
