Rising country singer/songwriter Maddye Trew is celebrating her introduction to radio as “Long Gone John,” her first single to be sent to radio, was greeted as the fifth most added release among MusicRow stations across the country in its first week.

Emma Rowley, Maddye’s co-writer on the new release, reflected on their special collaboration that led to the heartful tune. “I remember the feeling in the room when we came up with the hook of the song. Everything felt electric! The lyrics and melody were totally infectious. I instantly knew we had something special on our hands. It’s always a good sign when a song practically writes itself!”

“Y’all SEE her? I – want – to – BE – her!” exclaims country newcomer Maddye Trew, beaming as she holds up a magazine featuring her hero, Loretta Lynn, on the cover. She’s celebrating the release of her new single, “Dear Loretta,” which made its debut on Radio SoBro’s NuMu Friday just in time for Trew to take it onstage as a featured performer at the Tennessee River Jam in Paris, Tennessee.

We are thrilled that the “Boots and Whiskey Podcast” chose to include Maddye Trew as part of their “Women History Month” lineup. The podcast seeks to discover the best in new and promising artists from across the country; that being said, host Jim Belisle still has a soft spot for the heart of country music. “It was so nice to hear from somebody IN Nashville that is just absolutely KILLING as a female artist,” offers the host in his introduction.

Sparkling, spunky … and COUNTRY, that’s Maddye Trew! She brings all three of these elements to the forefront with the release of her brand-new single, “That’s The Lonely Talkin',” now available on all digital platforms. With this song, written by Jimmy Thrasher and Katie Barbour and produced by Luke Buishas, Trew pays tribute to the sounds of her idols - Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, and Carrie Underwood - with her whiskey-smooth delivery of the heartbreaking lyric and a fearless openness far beyond her years.

Before Maddye Trew began to leave her musical mark with her mix of pop-country sensibility and classic country nostalgia, she found many new friends and fans alike through her first feature with the celebrated online music platform, Country Rebel. Her live and organic take on the Patty Loveless classic, “Chains",” showcases a spunky delivery and appreciation for those that came before her … and it quickly gathered up over 163,000 views!

Having grown up a self-proclaimed “theater kid,” Maddye has never been one to shy away from a creative adventure. A role in a play? Absolutely! Need a backup singer? You bet!

So when Americana singer/songwriter Nicole Lewis started making plans for a music video for her song, “Keep It Kind,” Maddye was delighted to join the project.
