Maddie Carpenter McCullough is a native to Blount County, Tennessee, and has been involved in her local music community for nearly 20 years. Maddie has a passion for Old-Time and Bluegrass music along with Appalachian music history, and loves to share her passion with others via her music. Since 2015, Maddie has been playing music with her husband, Jordan, by her side. Their duo is often known as “Maddie & Jordan”.

When asked how Maddie got her start playing music, she says:

“I’ve been performing music locally for as long as I can remember! I think my first “gig” happened when I was 8 or 9 years old. I’ve been playing ever since! When I was that young, I was performing over karaoke tracks, mainly at places like local churches or retirement homes, but I did have a few bigger gigs. As I got older, I taught myself to play guitar and started to branch out. Now, I play at a lot of different local spots for different types of gigs. I met my husband, Jordan, in 2014, and we played our first gig together in Spring of 2015. I love gigging and performing music by myself, but playing music with him is so much more special. I haven’t played a show without him since our first gig in 2015.”

Most recently, Maddie has been pursuing a number of musical endeavors. She has formed several impromptu bands over the years, including the Penny Dreadfuls and Geographical Oddity. She and Jordan also enjoy sharing tunes as a duo from an educational context, providing insight about Appalachian music history; they spend a good amount of time studying and learning Appalachian music history together.

Maddie has also been working on writing and recording original music for her debut album, Wildwood. Maddie plans to release Wildwood in late 2024 on all streaming platforms.

When Maddie isn’t playing music, she enjoys photography, hiking, and spending time with her dogs (and Jordan).
