Maggie Rose's 2024 has actually been a year of turning points. Her newest album, Nobody Gets Out Alive, launched in April of this year, made a GRAMMY election for Best Americana Album, and she just recently shared a lot more happy news: she and her spouse Austin are anticipating their very first kid in April, as revealed through IndividualsIn real Maggie style, she stays reflective, rooted in appreciation, and prepared for whatever comes next.
“It's been an actually amazing year– great deals of individual and expert advancements– life has plenty of surprises, Maggie shared. “When I found out about the GRAMMY election, I was on a walking in the woods at Shelby Park. I understood the elections were being streamed, however I informed myself, ‘Just enjoy today, and it'll exist when you return.' My phone began blowing up. It was terrific to get that recognition– specifically for the entire album.”
That album– an enthusiastic and cinematic journey– has actually revived Maggie's currently storied profession. Not restricted to any one category, it's an offering that feels classic and deeply individual. Styles of durability, thankfulness, and progressing without closure resonate throughout the record. “I believe we talk ourselves out of huge dreams, waiting on whatever to be ideal,” she discussed. “But life does not work that method. You simply need to go for it and benefit from the time you have.”
It's that courageous spirit that specifies Maggie Rose's music and profession. Her journey hasn't lacked challenges. At one point, the record's release felt unsure– unanticipated label modifications included twists to the story. Maggie pressed forward. “This album was something I needed to produce myself. It was cathartic,” she confessed. “The journey wasn't constantly smooth, however those difficulties make this minute even sweeter.”
From the very start, Maggie's vision for the album was clear. The tunes came together in simply 6 months–“Mad Love” being the exception, a tune that had actually been waiting on its minute. “It has this huge Tarantino feel,” Maggie explained, meaning the significant style that threads through much of the record.
Maggie and manufacturer Ben Tanner constructed the album piece by piece, getting an outstanding ensemble: 2 members of Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit (guitar player Sadler Vaden and drummer Chad Gamble), keyboardist Peter Levin (Amanda Shires, Gregg Allman), bassist Zac Cockrell (Alabama Shakes), keyboardist Kaitlyn Connor, guitar player Kyle Lewis from her own band, and the Fame's Orchestra Project in Macedonia. Conductor Don Hart (Phish, Lyle Lovett) supervised the plans and made up lavish strings. GRAMMY-nominated audio engineer Bobby Holland blended the album.
“There were minutes when I questioned, ‘Are we getting ahead of ourselves?'” she chuckled. “But everybody rallied around me. They advised me this record had to do with painting a broad view– swinging for the fences. We went for it.” She included, “I needed to make this record for me and not due to the fact that I had a label at the time informing me that I required to provide something.
