From sharing the stage with superstar, Brett Eldredge, as well as acclaimed performances in casinos, clubs, and festivals to having original songs featured in movies and appearing on TV and radio shows, Brandon Maddox, has quickly established himself as one of Country Music’s rising stars. He was named, “Monster Truck Artist of the Year” and won both a Josie Award recipient in 2017 for his hit single “Dixie Chaser” as well as the winner of “Song of the Year” in 2019 for his song “Drive Me to Drink.”
Brandon’s dad schooled him in classic rock, so it was only natural that when the youngster picked up the guitar and taught himself to play, he used a Beatle’s songbook. While teaching himself, he noticed a common thread among the songs—the songs were written by actual members of The Beatles. Brandon wrote his first song at the tender age of 11 and now has an original catalog of over a thousand songs, a few of which have won awards. After college Brandon moved to Nashville from his hometown near Chattanooga, TN to pursue his songwriting passion.
In 2014, he was selected as the Family Events “Monster Truck Artist of the Year” for his song “The Bigger The Wheels, The Better The Man”, and, at this point started touring the Midwest with the monster truck shows. Some of Brandon’s biggest influences in Country Music are Brad Paisley and Keith Urban, “I had grown up with the classics of country; Johnny Cash, Waylon, Hank Sr, but I drifted away from listening to the genre because I wasn’t enjoying what was on the radio.
That all changed when I saw, Brad Paisley, play at The Grand Old Opry, and I said, ‘now that guy can play the guitar!’” Brandon’s goal from then on was to merge that classic country sound with guitar driven melodies. I’ve always thought about writing songs that move people—to dance, laugh, or cry,” Maddox says.
