Introducing Maddy Grace & Colton James: A Musical Journey from a Proud Uncle

Chris Sloan

Hello to all my visitors at SelectBaseballTeams.com! Today, I'm stepping away from the baseball diamond to shine a spotlight on something a little different but very close to my heart. I’m Chris Sloan, and aside from my love for baseball, I have the privilege of being the uncle to two extraordinary young musicians, Maddy Grace and Colton James. I’m thrilled to introduce these talented siblings to you, as they embark on an exciting musical journey.

Early Days in Music

Maddy and Colton grew up in a home filled with music and creativity. From a young age, both showed a deep affinity for music, with Maddy often found humming tunes before she even learned to talk, and Colton, not much taller than a baseball bat, attempting his first guitar chords. Their childhood was a symphony of various musical genres, from rock to country, each style leaving its mark on their developing artistic souls.

Maddy Grace: A Songstress is Born

Maddy’s defining moment came when she first heard Taylor Swift’s “New Year’s Day.” Inspired by Swift's narrative style, she was motivated to not just play music but to create her own. She started writing songs at the age of 13, with lyrics that displayed a wisdom beyond her years. Today, Maddy's songwriting is a blend of clarity and depth, her voice a clear bell resonating with those who listen.

Colton James: A Guitar Prodigy

Colton's journey took a serious turn when he revisited the guitar at age 10. His musical influences are broad, from the Southern rock of Lynyrd Skynyrd to the complex melodies of John Mayer. His knack for picking up tunes by ear and replicating them perfectly showcases his innate musical talent. Together with Maddy, he creates a sound that is both robust and resonant.

Together As a Duo

Maddy and Colton aren’t just siblings; they are a powerful musical duo. They began co-writing songs early on, combining her lyrical insights with his musical arrangements. Their collaboration has produced over 20 songs, each reflecting a unique blend of their talents. Their music is a conversation in melodies and lyrics, resonating deeply with their audiences.

The Stage Calls

Their presence on stage is something to behold. From intimate acoustic sets to energetic full-band performances, they connect with the audience, sharing stories and emotions through their music. They’ve played at a variety of venues, each performance adding to their growing reputation as compelling and mature musicians.

Looking to the Future

As their proud uncle, I watch with admiration as Maddy and Colton continue to explore and expand their musical horizons. They are constantly working on new material and planning future performances. I invite you to keep an eye on their upcoming shows by visiting their website and checking the 'Upcoming Shows' tab.

A Note from Uncle Chris

Maddy Grace and Colton James represent not just the future of music, but the spirit of dedication and passion in any field, much like the young athletes here on SelectBaseballTeams.com. Their story is a testament to following one’s passion and relentlessly pursuing excellence, principles we hold dear in both music and baseball.

I encourage you to visit MaddyGraceMusic.com, where you can explore their music, watch their performances, and join their musical journey. Whether you’re a fan of music, baseball, or both, I’m sure you’ll find something inspiring in these two incredible young artists.

Thank you for letting me share this part of my life with you. Let's cheer for Maddy and Colton as they hit their notes and dreams out of the park!
