  • Maggie Rose returns to the String for a full hour this time, because her new album No One Gets Out Alive marks yet another leap for this magnificent singer and songwriter from Nashville. As we heard back in Episode 180, the Maryland native was scouted by major labels while still in college, leading to a country deal in the early 2010s.

She’s built a following by working the road and a series of albums that split the difference between soul, country, pop, and rock and roll. And as the host of her own podcast, she’s also a great conversationalist.

The Music Row machine didn’t work for her ultimately, and after a hiatus she leaned into telling her own story, leading to an acclaimed debut in 2020. Now on her latest, she deftly investigates women navigating a 21st century digital panopticon of social pressure, conformity, autonomy and fulfillment.
