Maddy and the Groove Spots

Madelaine (Maddy) German is a keyboardist, singer-songwriter & composer. She grew up in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and now resides in Jackson Hole, WY. Maddy grew up the daughter of a music professor and church musician, and she spent her formative musical years immersed in both the spiritual music of the church and also the technical world of the Classical greats, studying Classical voice and piano from early childhood through college. After receiving a music degree from James Madison University in Virginia, she found herself in L.A as an intern in the studio of film score composer Hans Zimmer, where she learned how to score music for film. Maddy's love for outdoor adventure eventually landed her in Jackson Hole, where she also discovered her love of musical improvisation for the first time. She immediately adopted her new-found passion, and in 2013 formed Maddy and the Groove Spots. Rooted in a neo-soul / synth-funk musical sound, influenced by Maddy's time spent in the worlds of Classical, musical theatre, and film scoring music and set to Maddy's original lyrics, the band has a distinctly original sound. Maddy's "Groove Spots" are a rotating cast of improvisational, often jazz-trained musicians who all bring their own voice to the group. WYOPOP (Wyoming Pop)
