SUMMARY:Abigail Rose & Melanie MacLaren
DESCRIPTION:Two compelling voices in contemporary folk share the stage in this intimate co-bill. Nashville singer-songwriters Abigail Rose and Melanie MacLaren pair vivid storytelling and distinctive vocals with indie-folk and Americana influences—Rose with her expansive folk-rock sound and MacLaren with haunting\, witty lyricism and evocative finger-style guitar. \nEnjoy an evening of live music in the relaxed\, lounge-like setting of Upstairs on Main\, where great music meets a casual atmosphere with the bar open throughout the event. \nLocation: Shalin Liu Performance Center Third Floor Lounge \nABOUT ABIGAIL ROSE \nAbigail Rose is a Nashville indie-folk artist whose songs pair vivid storytelling with a voice The New York Times called “a slightly folk-y Stevie Nicks.” Raised on the outskirts of Music Row\, she began writing songs young and has carried that songwriter’s instinct throughout her career. \nHer breakout single\, “Run Girl\,” reached New Music Friday playlists across seven European countries and became one of the most-played songs of 2024 on radioeins\, Berlin’s market-leading radio station. In 2026\, “Betty’s in the Band\,” her duet with Weston Hunter\, sparked an even bigger breakthrough: a live clip went viral before the song’s release\, and the track surpassed one million Spotify streams in its first ten days\, growing her monthly audience to more than half a million listeners. \nAbigail has become a fixture of Nashville’s songwriter scene\, selling out her EP release show at The Basement and making her AmericanaFest debut this September. She recently wrapped an East Coast tour with Bre Kennedy\, with more dates to be announced soon. \nBeyond the stage\, Abigail volunteers with Musicians On Call\, bringing live music to hospital patients\, and performed at the organization’s 25th Anniversary Show in Nashville alongside Kelsea Ballerini and Wynonna Judd. Her debut album arrives in the fall\, bringing years of work together in one defining statement and opening the door to her next chapter. \nABOUT MELANIE MACLAREN \nMelanie MacLaren has quickly established herself in the folk and Americana scene with her unique ability to blend poetic lyricism and a tongue-in-cheek sensibility with timeless folk style. Melanie’s “haunting yet humorous” songs\, distinctive finger-style guitar and soul-string vocals have won over live audiences nationally and internationally since 2022. Her ability to effortlessly weave past and present threads of the folk tradition without sacrificing any sense of individuality and contemporary relevance make her an undeniable artist to watch. \nShe released her stunning debut EP “Kill My Time” in 2022 independently to enthusiastic critical reception before gaining the attention of Tone Tree Distribution in Nashville. Within a few months of the release\, she had signed with Tone Tree\, landed several coveted playlist spots (most notably Spotify’s Best of 2022 Fresh Folk Finds)\, and released a second EP of duets entitled “Tadpole Emporium” with Dublin songwriter Lorkin O’Reilly (DUG) which they toured together in the UK and Ireland. \nMelanie then released her second solo EP “Tourist” in April 2023. With tracks featured on multiple editorial playlists (most notably Spotify Fresh Finds and Spotify’s Best of 2022 Fresh Folk Finds) she garnered over 2.5 million streams across platforms. After touring extensively in 2023 and early 2024\, Melanie released a live to tape EP of her early work this May entitled “Songs are Ghosts” and an EP “Bloodlust. \nMelanie has toured in the US solo four times to enthusiastic audiences as well as touring the UK and Ireland. She has shared bills with both established and rising folk artists like Caleb Caudle\, Jessica Lea Mayfield\, Charli Adams\, Joshua Burnside\, DUG\, Lorkin O’Reilly\, Ramsey Thornton\, Bobby Bare Jr. and June Henry. In 2024\, she had the opening spot on Charlie Starr’s (Blackberry Smoke) solo acoustic tour in January and played to several sold out audiences. \nIn 2025 Melanie was selected as one of the finalist in the Troubadour Contest for Telluride Bluegrass Festival and was an official artist at Salmonfest in Alaska in August marking her first major festival appearances. In 2026 Melanie embarked on a successful coheadline tour of the Northeast with artist Liv Greene. She continues to write music and work on new projects.
