Madeline Elizabeth Adams, known mononymously as Madeline, is a folk singer-songwriter from Athens, Georgia.

She has been backed on tour by the White Flag Band, composed of Jacob Morris and Caleb Darnell on bass, banjo and guitar, Theo Hilton on keys, Laura Carter on trumpet and clarinet, Robbie Cucciaro on baritone horn and trumpet, Jim Wilson on drums, and Jason Trahan on guitar.^[1]

Overview

Madeline began performing her songs in 2000 in Athens, Georgia, having grown up there.^[2] For a brief time in 2001, she fronted the locally popular dance-pop band Sugar Shakers with Tim Schreiber (now known as Timmy Tumble).^[3] She self-released her first album, Kissing and Dancing, in 2002, which was later re-released by Plan-It-X Records. In 2006, she recorded The Slow Bang with Matthew Houck, also known as Phosphorescent, at his house in Athens for local label Orange Twin Records.^[4] On March 10, 2009, her third full-length album White Flag was released, having been recorded over a three-year period.^[5] Madeline described the recording of White Flag to Paste as "totally different" compared to her previous albums:

For my past recordings, I usually sit down with a producer, and I play my song, and then the producer and I accompany them on various instruments. But this time, I recorded it mostly with a full band, so the recording process was completely different.^[6]

As of April 1, 2009, she handled the booking of her own shows and bartended on the side.^[6] As of 2017, she lives in Atlanta and works in advertising, copywriting and social media, and fronts the band Flamingo Shadow.^[7]

Musical style

Madeline's writing has been described as "lyrics to be pored over", her voice as "haunting".^[8]

Madeline has also been likened to the Softies, Kimya Dawson, and the Carter Family, as well as 1970s superstars Joni Mitchell and Karen Carpenter.^[9]
