Born in Leicester, England, Maddock first worked in the bands Fire Next Time and Wood before embarking on his solo career. His music is described as literate and heartfelt, shaped by folk and Americana influences. He is now based in New York City and has carried that songwriting from Britain to stages across Europe on his recent run opening for Counting Crows.

A basement club in the East Village, 11th St Bar is a steady fixture for live music, hosting regular house band sets and long-running residencies. The room is a modest space where the audience sits on wooden benches, close enough to hear every note from the front row. Shows typically run from 8:30 PM to 11:00 PM, with multiple sets and a relaxed, conversational atmosphere. The bar is present, offering drinks to accompany the music, and the evening is a night out where people listen, talk, and share in the energy of the performers. It's a place where local musicians play with authenticity and warmth, and the audience is there to experience the music, not just watch it.
