Maddie Storvold is the black sheep love child of a folksinger and a comedian . Her songs “could well be heard drifting out of a Greenwich Village folk club in the 1960's” (Edmonton Folk Fest).
She offers a catalogue of tender flower folk with a splash of piss and vinegar, at the forefront of a new generation of storytellers.

BIO
RELEASE
Sunstorm, produced by indie heavy hitter Graham Lessard (Timber Timbre, Stars, Basia Bulat), takes 10 folk songs written across the span of 4 years, and layers them with complex, compelling instrumentation. The diverse story songs encompass a fraught, long-distance relationship with an older and more established musician, a national television debut and win, a major commercial country record deal as a folk artist, and eventual drop a month before the WHO declared the pandemic.

You know you have found a good song when it comes to an end, and you hit repeat, jumping back to the start…Storvold’s voice is itself an instrument of pure beauty”
— RICHARD CLARK, GREAT DARK WONDER —
“Maddie’s songs are political and deeply empathetic – they could well be heard drifting out of a Greenwich Village Folk Club in the 1960’s”
— EDMONTON FOLK FEST —
“Seasoned wit and sweetly forlorn wisdom, just sugar-coated enough to be addictive... Storvold’s songs live wonderfully in the messes, smells and snapshots of a troubadour’s tour brought to life for three or four honest minutes.”
— ROGER LEVESQUE, EDMONTON JOURNAL —
“Solid folk in the Canadian tradition. Storvold’s melody is playfully tuneful and yet she sounds vulnerable at the same time, much like (you guessed it) Joni Mitchell”
— MARK ANTHONY BRENNAN, RIDE THE TEMPO —
“Storvold grapples with the challenge of integrating a storybook-style big break into a textured and intelligent catalog consisting of her previous releases... soon to be joined by the fruits of her hours spent with the guitar she keeps next to her bed and the notebook she carries everywhere”
— JOE HARTFEIL, BEATROUTE —
