Maddy Walsh & The Blind Spots, a tenured, original, five-piece moxy rock band steered by magnetic songstress and force of nature Maddy Walsh, celebrated its fifteen-year “bandiversary” with a sizzling east coast tour. Their recently released fourth studio album, Talk, showcases a matured grasp of songwriting, paired, as always, with the band’s signature electrifying, high-energy performances characterized by soaring, powerhouse female vocals, luscious four-part harmonies, a library of modern and vintage key sounds, bold and inventive electric guitar stylings, and an incomparably tight rhythm section. Walsh has since released two solo albums, pandemic-era The Tunnel Sessions (2020), and Humanmade Thing (2021), the latter being released with a sold-out show at the Hangar Theatre in Ithaca, NY. A new record is on the horizon to be released in 2025.
MW&TBS has shared festival and event bills with the likes of Lake Street Dive, Silversun Pickups, Valerie June, Rubblebucket, Jukebox the Ghost, Amy Helm, Donna the Buffalo, Sharon Jones, The Punch Brothers, Steve Earle, Anders Osborne, Blues Traveler, Eddie Money, and Rusted Root, among others, and they continue to show exponential growth as they expand their touring radius, gaining new fans and momentum with each crackling live performance.
We are excited to welcome Maddy Walsh & The Blind Spots to Word of South!
