HTR Episode 28: Madison Hughes
Description
In this week’s episode, we sit down with Madison Hughes — a boundary-bending artist whose debut album All That I Am marks the arrival of a voice that’s as bold as it is soulful.
Madison has never been interested in choosing just one lane. From viral acoustic covers that put her on Nashville’s radar to prime-time TV performances and a creative upbringing steeped in American roots music, she’s been carving out a sound that lives between genres — part Americana, part blues, part indie folk, part modern country… and fully her own.
Raised in Jacksonville, Florida, in an entrepreneurial, music-loving household, Madison grew up backstage at her mother’s local festival, absorbing performances from artists like Shovels & Rope, Drew Holcomb, and Lera Lynn. She later studied digital film production, a skill that helped her blow up on TikTok before making the move to Nashville, where she found both her voice and her confidence.
From the southern stomp of “Losing the Grip” to the rainy-day atmosphere of “Nobody Knows Your Love,” Madison’s music feels like a road trip across the American landscape — gritty, honest, wide open, and full of soul. And at the center of it all is a voice that can whisper, wail, and soar, matched only by her storytelling.
This episode dives into self-discovery, independence, and what it looks like to build your own lane in a town full of lanes. Madison Hughes isn’t trying to be like anyone else — and that’s exactly why she’s one of Nashville’s most exciting new artists.
