Maddie & Tae

Bio

Award-winning duo Maddie & Tae are drawing praise for their new music “anchored around their stellar vocal pairings and some of the tightest harmonies on Music Row” (Rolling Stone). Recently releasing their eagerly-awaited EP One Heart To Another, serving as a snapshot of more music to come from the duo later this year, “the sound is identifiable while still representing a distinct step forward” (Billboard). Maddie & Tae first broke out in 2013 with their brilliant take down of bro-country, “Girl In A Country Song,” which took Country radio by storm, skyrocketing to the top of the charts and quickly going PLATINUM. The duo became only the third female duo in 70 years to top the Country Airplay charts, also earning trophies from the Country Music Academy and Radio Disney Music Awards along with multiple ACM, CMA and CMT Award nominations. Receiving widespread praise from NPR, Billboard, Entertainment Weekly, The Washington Post, Glamour and others, country music’s hottest stars including Dierks Bentley, Lee Brice and Brad Paisley have welcomed Maddie & Tae on the road, with Carrie Underwood recently inviting the duo out as direct support on her 2019 The Cry Pretty Tour 360.

KEITH URBAN CHALLENGES HIMSELF BY STRIVING TO GET BETTER AT HIS CRAFT.

Keith Urban is constantly striving to be a better musician, better songwriter, better performer, and making music is still extremely fascinating to him even after doing it most of his life.

“Make new songs, make new records, put new tours together. I’ve got zero interest in acting. I’m fascinated by this, and it’s endless – playing guitar better, making better records, being in the studio, discovering things,” says Keith. “It’s endless, like it’s endless in its potential for new expression, so I just hope to God that I’m able to keep this body moving, grooving (laughs), and allowing me to do the thing I love to do, which is go out and play. That’s really it.”

The country superstar is currently making his way up the charts with his latest single, “Messed Up As Me.”

TOBY KEITH IS ONE OF THE NEWEST MEMBERS OF THE COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME.

Toby Keith is one of the newest members of the Country Music Hall of Fame! Brooks and Dunn announced the new inductees during a press conference from the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum on Monday morning (March 18th). Toby Keith (Covel) will be inducted under the Modern Era Artist category.

“Toby’s passing left our hearts broken,” says the Covel family. “We miss him so much, but we take comfort that his music and legacy will live forever. Thank you, Country Music Hall of Fame, for helping keep it alive.”

John Anderson will go under the Veterans Era Artist category, and in the Recording and/or Touring Musician category, famed guitar player James Burton (Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Glen Campbell, Merle Haggard, Emmylou Harris, etc.). Keith Urban helped break the news to Mr. Burton, according to the press release. “I was on the phone with Keith Urban, and I kind of felt that Keith was beating around the bush a bit and small talking me,” he says. “He then stated that he was going to hand the phone to a young lady for a minute. I thought it was a friend of Keith’s that just wanted to say hi or talk guitars. Instead, she (CMA President Sarah Trahern) introduced herself and simply said, ‘Mr. Burton, you’ve been inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.’ I was completely shocked and couldn’t think of anything to say.”

A formal induction honoring all three will take place at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum during the official Medallion Ceremony in October. A final date will be announced soon.
