Maddie & Tae ‘Start Here’ in October With Solo Tour

After opening for Dierks Bentley on his Sounds of Summer Tour, Maddie & Tae are about to “fly” on their own, kicking off their Start Here Tour Oct. 10 at New York City’s Highline Ballroom. The tour will hit a dozen key markets through early November, playing smaller listening rooms and historic music clubs.

“Spending the summer with Dierks was an amazing masterclass in playing,” says Maddie. “He has such a great sense of how to connect with the audience, but he also understands how to keep music the focus… to make sure the playing and the songs don’t get lost in the fun of it. To write songs that matter is one thing, to bring people inside them is another. I can’t wait to share all the songs with the fans once Start Here comes out.”

“Maddie and I wanted to get out and play all the songs from this new record,” Tae says. “We’ve spent a few years writing these songs, figuring out how to say what we thought was important about being our age, and figuring out how to create our kind of music, so before we get back onto someone else’s tour, we wanted to take some time and show people all of who we are!”

The duo is gearing up for the release of their debut CD, Start Here, on Aug. 28.
