Rose Gerber – Saturday, October 4, 2025 at 7:30 pm
Singer-songwriter Rose Gerber is an intrepid American roots explorer, grafting country, folk, rock, alt-rock, and alt-country into an ageless, ache-laden signature sound. As a writer, Rose is both thick-skinned and delicate, shape-shifting from Heartland rock n’roll to heartbreaking balladry with unpretentious ease. Her songs are snapshots of everyday living that capture meaning in the seemingly mundane, courageous letters-to-self that spill wisdom so raw it feels almost accidental. It’s that unflinching tone that lands her comparisons to Natalie Merchant, Gillian Welch, and Patty Griffin: a turn-of-the-millenium voice backed by the high-lonesome pedal steel whine, Doc Martins and cowboy boots, each in their turn.
Rose’s music suggests a continued musical progression with a real sense of purpose and direction within her recent nostalgic songs of escape and compromise that each hold their own identity.
Gerber’s vocals are both powerful and infectious in equal measure as they drive home the sentiment within the narrative of each song.
“Rose’s 2024 EP, Untraveled Highway, out on July 5th, is a nostalgic escape into the freedom of youth that somehow never quite abandons its grown-up wisdom. In five songs about running, compromising, and learning to stay, Rose lovingly buckles impending middle age into the passenger seat and hits the highway – a much-needed road trip companion for anyone wrestling with what it might mean to settle down. “
