Semler DESCRIPTION:Maddie Zahm is dreaming of a world where curiosity matters mo re than anything\, where feelings are treated as proof that you’re alive . The LA-based\, Idaho-born singer-songwriter first felt the need to sli p into a comfy cardigan and tennis shoes as a childhood acolyte of Miste r Rogers’ Neighborhood\, but reaches that warm\, kaleidoscopic idyll on new album Everything All the Time (due early fall). By embracing the str ange\, beautiful flood of becoming yourself on your own terms\, the warm \, candid\, funny\, and awe-inspiring record captures what it feels like to stop viewing growth as a final destination and start treating it as an ongoing act of curiosity\, compassion\, and coming home to yourself. “Mr. Rogers gave me permission to feel deeply\,” Zahm beams. “I want my music to be welcoming in that same way\, to create an inclusive world th at people can be a part of.” After years spent unraveling everything fro m body image to faith\, sexuality\, and identity in songs that connected with millions of listeners\, Zahm now finds herself in a softer and mor e expansive chapter: one less focused on tearing herself apart to find a nswers or fitting into a box and more interested in celebrating the mess y\, ever-changing person emerging from the wreckage. Instead of trying t o make some splash by fitting into a cookie cutter pop industry or fitti ng to the expectations of her community in a country or christian music lane\, Zahm became determined to chase her own identity. And in that way \, Everything All the Time beautifully reinforces the lesson that first drew Zahm toward the gentle emotional honesty of Mister Rogers: feeling deeply is both a gift and a responsibility. Rather than flattening herse lf into a self-help slogan or treating vulnerability like a moral high g round\, Zahm allows her songs to exist in their fullest nuance. That ope nhearted charm comes not only from unbounded compassion\, but also from years of refining her artistic voice in the music industry. Since bursti ng onto the scene\, Zahm’s music has amassed more than 345 million strea ms worldwide\, with the single “You Might Not Like Her” reaching the Top 5 of Spotify’s US Viral Chart. She’s found perhaps another amazing leve l of success on social media\, with hit single “Fat Funny Friend” alone generating over 2 billion TikTok views. Along the way\, she’s sold out h eadline tours across the US and internationally\, shared stages with art ists like P!nk\, and earned acclaim from outlets including NPR\, Rolling Stone\, Billboard\, and People —all built on a fusion of her impeccable songwriting\, unrivaled voice\, and boundless charisma\, resulting in a n online community of nearly two million followers drawn to her singular mix of vulnerability\, humor\, and hard-earned self-awareness. True to her kids’ TV inspiration\, Zahm’s moving new album makes it clear that t apping into the full breadth of the universe isn’t always easy. On the t itle track lead single\, the now Los Angeles-based artist uses her trans cendent voice to bring the listener into that emotional journey\, to act as a companion to share the pain. “You can’t hurt my feelings because m y feelings they hurt me/ Another stranger’s life story’s the reason I ca n’t sleep\,” she sings\, each syllable like a tiptoed step over dry-ice fog piano. And when the track cracks open to make room for sweeping acou stic guitar and thunderous toms\, her voice rises to the moment\, a tote mic beam lighting through the clouds. Finding a new creative home has cr eated another level of depth. “Since moving to California\, I’ve not onl y redefined how I write music\, but I’ve come out as queer to myself\,” Zahm says. “In Idaho\, I thought I needed to be a traditional country si nger or Christian artist. LA provided me a place to discover who I am pe rsonally and artistically\, to open myself to the idea that I could be a n artist of my choosing.” That newfound confidence breathes through the swaggery “Meryl”\, a track dedicated to Zahm’s celebrity dream date. “I was dabbling in dating older women and loved the ridiculous idea of a so ng dedicated to my crush on Meryl Streep\,” she giggles. And by taking c lever twists on twangy pop tropes (acoustic chug\, corkscrew backing voc als\, a cheeky “hell yeah” on the bridge)\, Zahm reinforces both her tec hnical strength and eagerness to explore where her new sense of self fit s in—using a fictional romance to paradoxically open up and share more o f herself than ever before. “Self-discovery never stops\, but you can ge t to a place where it slows down\,” she explains. “But I remind myself t hat I’m never again going to be somebody who’s coming out of the closet and leaving the church and doing great. I can only do that once so I sho uld create something really beautiful from it.” Undergoing that much cha nge\, of course\, doesn’t happen in a vacuum\, as Zahm explores in the s tunning “Hometown Letdown”. Sung from the perspective of people still li ving in her Idaho hometown\, the track turns their judgment and speculat ion into an epic shout-along\, the kind of track tailor-made for giddy s ing-alongs\, a whole community of outcasts learning to move beyond the c oncerns of people who want to define them. “Probably wasn’t cause we’re hateful/ So let’s chalk it up to her being ungrateful\,” Zahm sings\, be fore a crackling guitar line underscores her rippling vocals. “Not long ago\, I wouldn’t have been able to joke about things like that because i t wasn’t funny\, being treated like the trope of the girl who leaves the little city and now has a girlfriend and sometimes smokes weed\,” she s miles. “But now I can see how silly it is.” That willingness to share ev en in the face of criticism is crucial to Zahm both musically and with h er fanbase\, a quality that makes her immaculate songs that much more be guiling. Rather than arch self-deprecation\, there’s a pained warmth to comparing herself to an ill-timed smoke as she does on “Drunk Cigarette” (“A bad idea walking home from the bar”). In a world where some fans ex pect a static personality or a sculpted character\, Zahm’s music continu es to reinforce embracing change and flawed reality. The track also high lights some of the most impressive musicianship of the album\, a spectra l choir of layered vocals soaring over coarse waves of acoustic guitar a nd a thrumming rhythm section. Produced by Ehren Ebbage (Lizzy McAlpine\ , Myles Smith) and featuring a handful of Zahm’s closest collaborators i ncluding additional production and co-writing by Adam Yaron (Alex Warren )\, Everything All the Time wears its expansive approach proudly and spe ctacularly. Across the album\, Maddie Zahm doesn’t present growth as a c lean arc or emotional enlightenment as a finish line. Instead\, she offe rs something warmer\, stranger\, and far more human: permission to keep evolving\, to keep feeling\, and to keep searching for yourself with com passion. “There’s a lot of good that comes from my big feelings\, like m y music and my friendships and my ability to connect with people\,” she says. “I’m so happy to feel everything because I would rather that than be somebody that is numb\, even if it comes with some pain.” Semler (hop eful\, unholy\, preacher’s kid) opens the show!\n\nTickets: https://tixr .com/e/193584\n\nhttps://findlocal.community/event/5f31e646-adaf-4cf8-a6 1d-11ef6e0b4ba6 LOCATION:Babeville\, 341 Delaware Avenue\, Buffalo\, NY 14202 URL:https://findlocal.community/event/5f31e646-adaf-4cf8-a61d-11ef6e0b4ba 6 STATUS:CONFIRMED SEQUENCE:0 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
