Liz Rose

With multiple GRAMMYs under her belt, a 2007 SESAC Nashville Songwriter of the Year title, as well as her own publishing company, Liz Rose is undeniably a songwriting powerhouse. Now, Rose makes her solo debut with Swimming Alone, and adds recording artist to her ever-growing list of achievements.

Having written all ten tracks on Swimming Alone, Rose poetically tells her narrative. “I started looking back and found some things in my past that really stuck out. I thought it was time to write my own record.” Rose adds, “Then I had some great friends, loved ones and mentors encourage me to record them and sing them. I’m not a great singer, but I love to sing and it’s my story, so...” Swimming Alone invites the listener on a journey into Rose’s past, detailing memories from her parents’ family-run dime store with “Five & Dime”, to falling in and out of love in “Ex-Husbands.” With hit producer Mac McAnally and an impressive list of collaborators and close friends of Rose—including longtime co-writers and fellow Love Junkies, Lori McKenna and Hillary Lindsey—Swimming Alone is Americana music at its finest. “I’ve always written other people’s stories,” says Rose, “but it was really fun to tell mine.”
