Singer-songwriter and lyricist Esther Rose honed her craft in the eclectic and energetic music scene of New Orleans, releasing three albums of deeply personal music rooted in a love of traditional country. Rose’s fourth album, Safe To Run, is perhaps her most introspective work, an 11-song collection of modern balladry. The title track is a slow burning, but somehow catchy, melancholic road song. “Chet Baker” is charmingly idiosyncratic in its lyricism, hinting at a meaning below the surface. Safe To Run was released Apr. 21 via New West Records. In her first-ever show in Athens, Rose will play an early set with Athens’ very own Clover County.
