The enthusiasm of the country pop singer for Texas' rich music culture, from the stage to the studio to the dance floor, inspired this project, a kind of love letter to the Lone Star State. Her new EP South Texas Suite is nostalgic, deeply romantic and defiantly personal - it's Texas, through Whitney's eyes and ears. After releasing her album Heartbreaker of the Year, Rose grabbed her boot collection and went south to play a two-month residence in Austin's famous Americana Bastion, the Continental Club. She toured with Sam Outlaw, made her European debut and signed with Thirty Tigers / Six Shooter Records.
