One of Americana’s most acclaimed voices, the Nashville-based artist will showcase highlights from her newly released album, Half Moon, alongside fan favorites from her GRAMMY-nominated album No One Gets Out Alive.
For one night only, fans everywhere can experience Maggie Rose’s Austin City Limits debut live from Austin, Texas. Streaming free exclusively at YouTube.com/AustinCityLimitsTV and Maggie Rose’s YouTube Channel, the livestream begins at 9 p.m. ET/ 8 p.m. CT and offers music fans a rare opportunity to experience an Austin City Limits taping as it happens. ACL’s exclusive livestreams give viewers around the world a front-row seat to the magic of one of television’s most iconic music stages.
Available only during the live event, the full-set performance livestream offers fans an early preview of Rose’s hour-long Season 52 episode ahead of its PBS broadcast premiere, opening the second half of ACL’s expanded Season 52 in January 2027.
A bold artistic statement embracing transformation, vulnerability and joy, Half Moon finds Rose at the height of her creative powers. Across 10 richly crafted songs, she blends Americana, soul, rock and cinematic pop into an album that is as emotionally resonant as it is sonically stunning. Produced by acclaimed collaborators Lawrence Rothman (Amanda Shires) and Daniel Tashian (Kacey Musgraves), Half Moon builds on the momentum of Rose’s GRAMMY recognition while showcasing a fearless evolution in her songwriting. From the infectious swagger of “Red Shoes” and irresistible groove of “Weekend Lover” to the intimate reflection of “Gentle Man” and hopeful title track, the album highlights the vocal prowess that has earned Rose acclaim from Variety, which hailed her “a queen among Nashville singers,” and Rolling Stone, which called her “dazzling,” among other accolades.
Rose, who was eight months pregnant when she began creating the album, gives voice throughout Half Moon to the complexities of womanhood, the sacredness of her closest bonds and the thrill and overwhelm of expecting her first child. The trio of collaborators surrendered to a shared creative journey that Rothman sums up as “a year-long wild ride of writing, producing, crying, laughing, babies being born, and dreams coming to life.” Tashian, meanwhile, compares their creative kinship to “a bunch of kids building sandcastles on a beach and just enjoying the sunshine…We were all passengers, and the songs were taking us wherever they wanted to go.”
After more than a decade honing her craft and building a devoted following, Rose earned back-to-back GRAMMY nominations for her acclaimed 2024 album No One Gets Out Alive and her 2025 collaboration with Grace Potter, “Poison In My Well.” She also received an Emerging Act of the Year nomination from the Americana Music Association in 2025, while Rolling Stone named No One Gets Out Alive one of the 100 Best Albums of 2024.
A dynamic live performer, Rose has shared stages with Chris Stapleton, Kelly Clarkson, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Heart and Molly Tuttle, among many others. A fixture of the Nashville music community, she has made more than 100 appearances on the Grand Ole Opry and hosts the acclaimed podcast Salute the Songbird, featuring candid conversations with some of her musical heroes.
