I’m psyched to welcome back two-time Grammy-nominated @iammaggierose to Roadcase for this special episode!! Maggie is here to celebrate her new album, Half Moon, which was just released on August 14.
One of my favorite artists, Maggie’s musical and vocal talents combined with her down-to-earth vibe have earned her a devoted fanbase and critical acclaim — a sweet story of success given the challenges she faced early in her career when she fought through the Nashville system to have her own authentic voice.
Maggie talks to me about the latest challenges of becoming a new mom, and we discuss the many themes she brought to the beautiful story arc reflected on Half Moon. It’s a wonderful and insightful conversation that I’m really excited for you to hear!!
