KELSEA BALLERINI - Rolling Up The Welcome Mat (Duo) (7am Smoky Sunrise Half & Half Vinyl)

Multiple GRAMMY nominee, Country Music Association award winner, author and
songwriter/vocalist Kelsea Ballerini once again follows one of contemporary music’s most
in-the-moment muses and releases Rolling Up The Welcome Mat. The intimate six song EP,
available from Black River, is a handful of postcards and polaroids from the life of the young
woman who’s captivated music lovers since the chart-topping 'Love Me Like You Mean It.'
To accompany the music, Ballerini wrote and directed, alongside co-director Patrick Tracy, a
short film that creates a deeper tableau and sense of the emotions that went into Rolling Up
The Welcome Mat. Filmed in a white, minimalist environment, the film leaves room for
viewers to see their own lives, even as it provides an even deeper look into the songwriter’s
own emotional journey.
Easily her most intimate work yet, Ballerini delivers a very lean, vocal forward set of songs
that measures the most personal aspects of her last few years. Working with frequent
collaborator Alysa Vanderheym, the pair co-produced and co-wrote three songs on Rolling
Up The Welcome Mat. Ballerini wrote the other three songs on her own, committed to
sorting through her life completely on her own terms.
