Maddie Batzli (LINE)

How would you describe your music?
singer-songwriter music with indie pop and folk influences

What inspires you to create music?
Creativity feels spiritual to me, and making music is a way of connecting to something beautiful and mysterious outside of myself.

It allows me to see the world in a way that keeps me more observant, and helps me find meaning in my own emotions and experiences. Even though as people we are all living our own separate lives, music highlights our common feelings and experiences as humans. I listen to music to feel more connected and less alone, and I like to make music for the same reason.

What is your favorite part of performing live?
Sharing music that an audience can connect with, to bring them back into their own memories or transport them to thinking about their own feelings and daydreams. I love how performing allows me to be very present in the moment of making music, and it’s a joy to be able to share that with other people.

What are you most looking forward to audiences hearing/experiencing at your concert?
Comfortable and catchy original songs on acoustic guitar, with vocals reminiscent of Natalie Merchant, Tracy Chapman, and Dolores O’Riordan (of the Cranberries.)

Traveling Suitcase

How would you describe your music?
Authentic rock & roll.

What inspires you to create music?
We want music to have fun, too. Every show is dynamically different. To spread hope, find ourselves and be held accountable within its practices.

What is your favorite part of performing live?
Building community without words. Watching people laugh, dance & feel free. Collaborating with other musicians locally to globally.

What are you most looking forward to audiences hearing/experiencing at your concert?
Welcoming summer & sharing space in one of our favorite cities to perform in. Watching the community come together to embrace the moment. Last but not least, rocking out with our best friends.
