Ro Myra isolates moments and emotions with surgical precision, and she sings with a weathered grace that makes even hard truths go down easy. The result is a warm embrace of an album all about memory and forgiveness, growth and pain, freedom and fate.

 

a collection of songs that calls to mind everything from Kathleen Edwards and Mary Gauthier to Lucinda Williams and Sheryl Crow…

 the self-produced collection is a complex reckoning with the past, a nuanced, literate reexamination of small town life in the shadow of heartbreak, self-destruction, and second chances. While the arrangements here are broad and sweeping, Myra’s storytelling is sharply focused and firmly rooted.

Who is ro Myra?

“I grew up in a small, dried-up oil and farming town in the middle of nowhere Nebraska,” says Ro Myra.

Though the path was anything but obvious, Myra knew from an early age that her future lay beyond the endless cropland that surrounded her. Music was her first and most precious escape, a world of infinite possibility right there at her fingertips, and she dove into it heart and soul.

She taught herself piano as a child, studied classical composition in college, and spent her post-grad years working with international non-profits before returning to music at the urging of her mentor, renowned composer Dr. Eric Funk. He told her, “You can keep running away from ‘music’, but you are music and you cannot run away from yourself.”

The result, as evidenced by soaring lead single “She’s Not The Road,” is a captivating debut all about memory and forgiveness, a warm embrace of an album as raw and windswept as the landscape that inspired it.

Ro Myra may have left home, but home, it seems, never left her.
