A reliable traditionalist with a penchant for bittersweet songs of heartbreak and loss, Ashley
Monroe pulled a complete 180 for her spectacular new album, Rosegold, riding the joyful emotional

wave that followed the birth of her son to create her most ecstatic, blissed-out collection yet.
Written and recorded over the past two years, the record finds the GRAMMY-nominated Nashville
star pushing her sound in bold new directions, drawing on everything from Kanye West and Kid
Cudi to Beck and The Beach Boys as she layers lush vocal harmonies atop dreamy, synthesized
soundscapes and sensual, intoxicating beats. Monroe worked with a variety of producers on the
album, letting the tracks dictate her direction rather than any arbitrary adherence to genre or
tradition, and the result is a record as daring as it is rewarding, an ecstatic, revelatory meditation on
happiness and gratitude that tosses expectation to the wind as it celebrates our endless capacity to
love, and to be loved, even in the midst of chaos and tragedy.

Born in Knoxville, TN, Monroe first began turning heads in Nashville as a teenager, when she
arrived in town with a notebook full of mature, emotionally sophisticated songs that belied her
young age. A jack-of-all-trades, she picked up work behind the scenes at first, singing on sessions
at Jack White’s Third Man Studios and penning tunes that would appear on albums by the likes of
Guy Clark, Carrie Underwood, Jason Aldean, and Miranda Lambert. Monroe and Lambert forged a
close personal bond through their collaborations, and in 2011, they teamed up with fellow Nashville
journeywoman Angaleena Presley to launch the critically acclaimed trio Pistol Annies, which would
go on to top the Country Album charts, crack the Top 5 on the Billboard 200, and earn a GRAMMY
nomination for Best Country Album. Monroe’s solo output was equally lauded, with NPR hailing her
work as “subtle and breathtaking” and Rolling Stone praising her writing as “riveting [and] sharpwitted.”

Over the course of three studio albums, Monroe would land her own GRAMMY nomination
for Best Country Album, share bills with the likes of Vince Gill and John Prine, and perform
everywhere from The Tonight Show and Conan to Late Night and The View.
