Rose made her recording debut in 2009 with a cover of Kings of Leon’s “Use Somebody.” One year later, she signed with Emrose Records and released a pair of singles and an EP under her birth name, Maggie Rose Durante, before assuming the moniker Maggie Rose for the 2012 single “I Ain’t Your Mama.”

Rose’s debut album, “Cut to Impress” landed at #10 on Billboard’s Heatseeker chart, as well as on one of the four country albums featured on Amazon’s “Best Albums of 2013” list. The release of her debut country album placed Rose in the spotlight, with Vogue Magazine naming her as one of Nashville’s “It” girls alongside Miranda Lambert and Lily Aldridge.

Her latest EP, “The Variety Show, Vol. 1” was released on April 8th on Play It Again Records, and is available on iTunes, as well as streaming on Apple Music, Spotify, Google Play and Amazon Music. Rose is currently headlining her own tour with fellow Play It Again act The Morrison Brothers Band, who she also produces, in addition to opening for acts ranging from Rachel Platten to Brad Paisley and Lee Brice.
