Alexa Rose's Debut Album Coming On Big Legal Mess This October
Alexa Rose is announcing her debut full-length album on Big Legal Mess today with “Medicine For Living”, the song which won her the acclaimed songwriting competition at Merlefest in 2019. The track, which informs the title of her debut album, is a slice of contemporary roots music in the vein of Gillian Welch, imbued with the Appalachian storytelling sensibilities of her ancestral home in the Alleghany Highlands in western Virginia Rose brings her poignant, soulful, timeless voice to this deep well of traditional songwriting. Speaking to this first single Rose says 'this song is about a love that is failing and that moment when something is about to come to an end. That moment should still be appreciated and enjoyed because it's still part of love. I was trying to reason with myself about something that I had no control over. Medicine for Living is about realizing that all we can do is be loving and reach for love and that in itself can be healing.“ Alexa Rose will be on tour this fall including an official showcase at AmericanaFest in Nashville, TN Sept 10th - 15th.
