MADDOX BATSON – LIVE! WORLDWIDE!

Within just five months, Maddox Batson, a charismatic teenager from Alabama, born in the country capital Nashville (Tennessee), was able to achieve over 200 million views and gain more than three million followers. His first single “Tears In The River” has since counted more than 12 million streams on Spotify. Meanwhile, Batson signed with the major label Warner Music and wrote, among other things, together with star producer and songwriter Jack Antonoff, the hit “Tough” by Lana Del Rey and Quavo. What Maddox Batson participates in, will be guaranteed to be a success! Not self-evident for a young person who had to learn early on to be able to deal with plan changes. The sports enthusiast Batson once aspired to a career as a professional athlete (basketball or baseball). However, this dream shattered when the diagnosis of Osgood-Schlatter’s disease entered the life of the then 13-year-old. He has remained true to his sporting ambition and the necessary balance. With plans for the future thrown over the heap, Batson then devoted himself to his passion and enthusiasm for music. This was followed by online uploaded cover versions of the songs by Zach Bryan, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros or Red Clay Strays, and the rest is (Internet) history! Meanwhile, he is an actor, singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist – always with one hand on the strings of a guitar (or mandolin) and with the other on the keys of a piano. Not only since the viral hits “Tears In The River” and “I Wanna Know” his fans have been glued to his lips and on their screens: With around 3.5 million TikTok, 1 million Instagram and over 300 thousand Snapchat followers, his social media presence and his debut release “First Dance” are very well received. In the media, he was compared to Cole Swindell and Justin Bieber. The latter seems to be considered a role model for Maddox Batson, not least because of the earlier Sunny Boy aura and his youthful age at the beginning of his career. More than 377,000 monthly listeners on Spotify also underline the statement of NBC Nightly News: “a young star… striking a chord and hitting all the right notes”. As part of the “Live! Worldwide” tour, the US-American country pop sensation 2026 now also stops in Germany: Maddox plays Batson on 19. May the Cologne Club Kantine, to on 21. May to enchant his Hamburg fans in Gruenspan with his talent. In addition to his charm and the indispensable acoustic guitar, definitely included: the debut EP “First Dance” released in 2025.
