"In a world where you can be anything, be yourself. That’s the mantra, performer/singer Madison Hughes, 26, has embraced. Originally from Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, Madison’s musical journey began at 10 years old when she started taking guitar lessons with her dad. Fast forward, after graduating college, Madison spent time in Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, and Nashville. She became versatile across multiple genres and styles like “countrified” versions of rock classics or more folksy, sultry interpretations of pop and country hits. A turning point in Madison’s career came in 2022 when she decided to apply for NBC’s The Voice. After a lengthy vetting process, she landed a coveted spot on the Blind Auditions stage by charming the coaches with her country rendition of Bob Dylan’s classic, “Knocking on Heaven’s Door” – earning a three-chair turn. This performance, which got rave fan reviews and captured over half a million YouTube views, solidified her confidence in performing live. She ultimately earned a spot on Team Blake, who quoted, “When we’re talking about Madison’s tone, I swear I hear a little Elvis in her!” Despite being eliminated in the Battle Rounds, Madison took away important lessons and inspirations from her time on The Voice. She’s just dropped her first single off of the show, "You or the Whiskey" which was featured in Billboard's "7 Must Hear Country Songs." She is now currently working with producers and writers to get her first album made.”
There’s a sound that isn’t heard enough on Country radio—the sound of organic, three-part female harmonies, offering stories that speak the language of modern day life to everyone everywhere. Add in some good-natured brash and sassy attitude and you’ve got Canada’s country music queens, The Heels.
That title is now undisputed with the chart-topping follow-up to their warmly received 2018 debut album, “Love, Heels.” The 2021 release of the trio’s sophomore album “I Am” has garnered much success in the Canadian country radio market with single “Catch & Release’ -featuring Canadian country superstar Aaron Pritchett- charting on Canada’s BDS Billboard Chart in the Top 50 for several weeks. The bands follow-up single “Hush Money” racked up over a million views on TikTok and fuelled their momentum leading to world-wide acclaim on the iTunes charts obtaining #1 in France, #6 in Ireland, #10 in Belgium & #13 in the UK. This led to The Heels first Josie Music Award win for Best Country Trio – an award show during which The Heels took the stage at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville Tennessee. Since then The Heels have continued to tour widely in Canada and the United States, honing their chops as a standout live act, deepening their bond personally and creatively, and writing relentlessly. The Heels’s journey as a trio has propelled the band to winning multiple awards from their provincial country music association plus notable indie music awards within North America. The Heels released their much anticipated ballad “Work Of Heart” in February of 2023. “Work of Heart” is a genre-bending
soundscape of Country, Pop and Spiritually. True to the traditional roots of The Heels with a new frontier of sound healing frequencies dynamically layered within harmonies. A song about self-love and acceptance with gratitude for the contrasting emotional experiences and beauty that surrounds humanity on a daily basis. “Work of Heart” is the title track of the bands upcoming third album setting a sonic pathway to the evolution of The Heels. Produced by the award-winning Anthony Fiddler, the new album represents an intentional departure from The Heels' previous work; a record that reflects the life changes and challenges the West Coast based band has experienced while deepening the impact of what’s drawn listeners to The Heels over time. Driven to consistently grow as singers, songwriters, performers, and music industry professionals The Heels are confident in the strength of their vision to spread positivity and healing through their music on a world-wide platform of limitless potential.
"The Song Garden is a new songwriter collective that exists to help artists create, collaborate and grow as a community. Every 5 months, we welcome a new “crop” of writers and meet together monthly - we share our struggles, encourage each other in our art, assign a writing prompt, and then write a new song every month to be shared at the next meet up. The showcase is a chance to share with our friends, family, and community the art that has grown from the Song Garden. We are proud to present a crop of brand new songs born from the very first, inaugural Song Garden, featuring these wonderful songwriters:
