Madi Diaz has been in my iPod for ages now -- she was one of the first new bands or artists I discovered after moving to New York and starting at The Tripwire. She's been on my mind lately, though, as I've recently been in Nashville (and pining away to move there with some permanence), and Madi moved to Nashville a few months ago with her bandmate Kyle Ryan.It seems a more fitting place for her bluesy, country-esque folk sound. And though that style is appealing to me, it's really Madi's voice and Madi's voice alone that keeps her music fresh and relevant to me. There is something rich and real about the timbre of her vocals. Pair that with intelligent songwriting and adventurous instrumentation and I'm pretty much hooked. Check out her performance from Acoustic Long Island below, and as always hit up her MySpace for more -- "Let's Go" and "It's Only A Kiss" are some of my favorites, and (GLEE!) I just noticed she's put up some new tracks.
cheers,
elizabeth
