Maggie Rose (Margaret Rose Durante) was born in Potomac, Maryland and graduated from Georgetown Visitation Preparatory School. She has been a lifelong singer but really began performing at age 16 frequently with The B Street Band, a Bruce Springsteen tribute band. She attended Clemson University but moved to Nashville during her sophomore year in order to pursue a career in
music upon receiving encouragement from producer Tommy Mottola, industry mogul and former head of Sony Entertainment (SME). In 2009, Durante signed with Universal Republic out of New York and released a well-received cover of Kings of Leon's “Use Somebody”. A year later, she signed to R&J Records where her first release "Mississippi's Crying", entered the Hot Country Songs charts in December 2010 and in June 2011, her music video "Maybe Tonight" debuted in Great American Country's Top 20 Country Countdown videos at No. 1, a first for an independent artist. She changed her stage name to Maggie Rose, signed with RPM Entertainment and released her first LP. Her debut album, Cut to Impress, features ten tracks highlighting Rose's power packed vocal talent. The album was named by John Caramanica as one of Country music's best releases with the lead single “I Ain’t Your Mama” which was hailed as a boundary-pushing song showcasing her big, commanding voice with a groovy melody and a spitfire kind of verse structure with a sassy delivery. Her second single, the gut-punching “Better” showcases Maggie's powerful, crisp vocals and serve as a strong follow up to “I Ain’t Your Mama”. “I Ain’t Your Mama” and “Better” were Top 30 singles on Billboard Country Airplay. Cut to Impress was hailed as one of the best listens of the year and began a new chapter in Maggie's career. After visiting the U.S. Troops in the Middle East in 2013, Maggie Rose joined Gary Allan and Sheryl Crow on The Free and Easy Tour. Maggie closed out 2013 having performed in 49 states over the course of 150 shows. In September 2018, she made her 50th Opry Show appearance with the legendary Jeannie Sealy making the introduction.
