Free Show: Madison Hughes

Madison Hughes grew up in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, rooted in the same coastalSouthern soil that gave the world Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ray Charles, and the AllmanBrothers. She started writing songs because heartbreak cracked her open and she didntknow how else to get it out. Shes never been great at saying the hard things out loud.Turns out she can sing them.She moved to Nashville in 2022 and released her debut LP All That I Am in 2025,followed by the EP Desperate Man. Her songs are a mixed bag, grunge-folk one minute,country soul the next, a little blues, a little indie, whatever the feeling calls for. Mostlytheyre just her trying to make sense of her own lifeand hoping somewhere along theway, they make you feel a little less alone in yours.americana/alt-country from Nashville/Jacksonville
