MAGGIE ROSE
Hailed for her "multi-genre talents" by Billboard and deemed a "star" by Rolling Stone, acclaimed singer-songwriter Maggie Rose has released her ambitious new album No One Gets Out Alive. Hearkening back to early '70s Laurel Canyon, the music deals in both dark and uplifting themes- disillusionment in relationships, ageism, female empowerment and living in the moment, among them, with Maggie's big, soulful voice taking centerstage. Maggie successfully straddles the worlds of pop, rock, soul, Americana and folk, unencumbered by genre specifics. Recorded with a dream team including members of Jason Isbell's 400 Unit, Alabama Shakes and Gregg Allman's band, the record was produced by GRAMMY-Award winner Ben Tanner, mixed by Bobby Holland and arranged by conductor Don Hart (Phish, Lyle Lovett). A respected fixture of the Nashville community, Maggie has played the iconic Grand Ole Opry over 100 times and marquee festivals including Austin City Limits, Bonnaroo, and Newport Folk Fest. A true road warrior, she has shared the stage with the likes of Kelly Clarkson, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Heart, Joan Jett, Eric Church, Gov't Mule, The Mavericks, Fitz & The Tantrums, St. Paul & The Broken Bones and The Revivalists among others.
Emily Ann Roberts
They say the path to the grandest stage is paved with relentless practice, and Emily
Ann Roberts embodies this mantra. From humble performances on small Knoxville
stages to gracing the illustrious Grand Ole Opry platform almost 20 times, Roberts has
diligently earned her place in the spotlight. Her journey began on Blake Shelton's team
on The Voice, a remarkable feat achieved even before completing high school. Roberts
has accumulated a wealth of performing, songwriting and recording experiences. This
dedication has translated into over 45 million streams, solidifying her status as a
prominent artist. Nine years later, her growth and hard-work prompted an invitation from
her former coach Shelton to join his 2024 17-date arena Back to the Honky Tonk Tour.
Notably, CMT, Country Now, Music Mayhem Magazine, All Country News, and others
have earmarked her as a significant artist to watch in 2024. Rooted in East Tennessee,
Roberts draws inspiration from the rich tapestry of Smoky Mountain music, bluegrass
virtuosos, and country legends spanning generations from Loretta Lynn and Dolly
Parton to Miranda Lambert and Cody Johnson. This diverse upbringing uniquely
positions her to reintroduce authenticity to country music, a mission evident in her debut
full-length record, Can't Hide Country, released on September 22. Recorded at
Starstruck Studios in Nashville and produced by GRAMMY-winning maestro Trent
Willmon, Emily Ann's lyrics, brimming with honesty, coupled with her exceptional vocal
prowess, have garnered widespread acclaim from both the media and her devoted fan
base. Country music stalwarts, Grady Smith and Saving Country Music’s Trigger, each
bestowed her album with a top-three ranking on their 2023 Best Albums lists. It is
undeniably evident that country music is in capable hands with Emily Ann Roberts
steering the ship.
