Episode One: Madeline
September 17th
You can take the girl out of Athens...
2009
Madeline Adams, a native Athenian, played her first show at the X-Ray Cafe when she was 15. Her solo records, starting with Kissing and Dancing (2002) and evolving through The Slow Bang (2007), are the story of an artist mixing punk sensibilities with a natural talent for folk songwriting. White Flag (2009), is a refinement of that theme, a set of transportive melodies laid on music that relies on both a traditional Southern sound and the work ethic of a touring band.
