New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Buzzing as an artist to watch in 2024, Los Angeles-based vocalist, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Rett Madison announces a string of headline tour dates today. After hitting the road for a run of dates supporting John Darnielle of The Mountain Goats and Bailen, the headline tour kicks off on March 25 in Kansas City, MO before wrapping up in Louisville, KY on April 2.
Madison continues to tour in support of her acclaimed new album, One for Jackie, out now via Warner Records/War Buddha Records.
Inciting widespread critical applause, One for Jackie is a tribute to Madison's mom, who struggled with depression, PTSD and alcoholism for Madison's whole life before she passed by suicide in 2019, leaving her only child with the harrowing responsibility to try and better understand her mother while she mourned her. "Writing this album, I was moving through grief," Madison says. "It was part of my healing process."
One for Jackie features a collaboration with
Iron & Wine in addition to lead singles "One for Jackie, One for Crystal," "Skydiving" and "Fortune Teller." Watch Madison's performance of standout "Flea Market" on Late Night with Seth Meyers.
Recorded in Tornillo,
Texas at the storied Sonic Ranch and produced by the Grammy Award-winning Tyler Chester (Madison Cunningham, Sara Bareilles, Watkins Family Hour), One for Jackie simultaneously borrows from legendary storytellers of the past like
Bob Dylan and
Bruce Springsteen while cementing itself as an American classic for fans of Phoebe Bridgers,
Angel Olsen and Brandi Carlile.
Between Madison's gutting lyrics, her singular voice and her exacting creative vision, One for Jackie immerses the listener in Madison's grief, relying on memory and raw emotion to paint a lasting picture of Jackie. Rather than flattening and sanctifying her mother in the wake of her death, Madison portrays Jackie in all her glory and complexity. The result is an album that brings Jackie to life.
In addition to her newly announced dates, Madison will perform at Carnegie Hall on February 23 at The Piano Recital alongside Mandy Moore, Margo Price, Meg Duffy, and others. Last year, she wrapped a run of dates with
Grace Potter, The Head And The Heart, Andy Grammer, Fitz & The Tantrums, and Medium Build and played her first headline show in London. She was also recently spotlighted in a Mixtape Moments segment on CBS Mornings.
