Blake Rose is one of those rising artists where someone may recognize his songs before his name. That should soon change.
Fresh off the release of last month’s “Movie”, as well as previous saccharine pop singles like the sweeping “Ordinary People” and buoyant “Cassanova”, Rose arrives today (October 8) with his debut EP, A World Gone By, via AWAL Recordings, just in time for a 38-city North American run supporting Noah Kahan’s Was/I Am tour.
“I try to give listeners an experience,” says the Australian-born, Los Angeles-based artist. “I take a lot of time with every element to make sure I’m creating a world people can immerse themselves into. Whether the narrative is precise or ambiguous I try to attain a certain level of depth with each song that I hope people can latch onto and let it be as much a part of their own story as it is mine.”
That should be well on view for the rest of the year, as Rose’s upcoming tour kicks off October 14 in St. Louis and wraps December 19 in Phoenix. Along the way, he plays Boston’s House of Blues on November 4, and two nights at New York City’s Webster Hall, November 11 and 12. A homecoming lands December 17 at Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles, and by then, Rose’s name recognition should ahead of his music. Get all the dates after the jump.
