Maddie

In January 2024, Maddie decided to contact venues about performing, to hopefully raise some money towards college, as times were kinda rough at home.  Within a few weeks she had 20 gigs booked for the spring & summer before heading to college.  Neil & Shannon duo helped her by providing her leads for some of those venues.

​

Maddie received requests from a Nashville promoter and a recording label interested in her music in October 2023.  As she intended to pursue a college degree the following year after completing high school, she declined signing on with both companies.

​

She performed a number of gigs when asked to perform, but didn't start contacting venues until January of 2024

 

Maddie was asked to perform at the prestigious Home Grown Festival for original artists on August 1, 2020.  She received many compliments and a quick request to return next year.

​In January 2020, she won Hanover Has Talent with her new original "Liar".  Many talented musicians and dancers of all ages competed, including one person chosen by 'The Voice' to sing for their show in Baltimore.

​

She recorded backing vocals in 2019 for Tommy Sands song 'Children of the Dole' on Across the Pond's "Little Beggarman" album.  That track has been in the Top 100 on the Homegrown Underground Show for several weeks running.

​

Maddie sang Christina Perri's 'A Thousand Years' for a wedding at the PA Renaissance Faire in 2018.

​

She received an award for "Outstanding Student Musician" in 2017 from the Gettysburg Community Concert Association.

​

She has donated her time and music for school events and benefits, and began performing free concerts at the Brethren Home  before the COVID virus hit America.

​

Maddie sang the National Anthem at many events including The Hershey Bears, The York Revolution, Gettysburg Reenactment, Hanover Soccer Club, High School Basketball games, and for Veterans Day events.  After one Veterans Day Event in 2017, an elderly veteran approached her after singing the Anthem. He said, "Thank you.  That made my heart melt.  You gave me faith in this generation"  He hugged her with tears in his eyes.

Maddie won her school Talent Shows in 4th, 5th, 6th and tied for 1st in 7th grade.
