Safe To Run is Esther Rose on a good day, a bad day, the hours in between, and the times when she’s unstoppable. Without forsaking her folk tendencies or love for country music, Rose and her band invoke garage tones and art rock guitar at intervals that put one in a VU-ish mood while dreamier tracks harken back to 2021’s aching How Many Times– only this time, Rose knows the answer. Fresh sounds and flavors rub up against the tried and true, creating a new dance that urges forward with excitement and fear– but never reservation. Delving into her New West Records debut as well as the latest music from friends and new discoveries, Esther Rose takes over 100.9 The Creek ahead of her performance at Grant’s Lounge on Thursday, June 22nd.
