Once in a while, a writer and a photographer get the chance to go out on assignment and catch a singer/songwriter live at a music venue. This fares far differently than simply interviewing the artist at home or at a restaurant, because you actually get to see the artist perform on stage in their natural environment. Most of the time, what you see is pretty close to what you get. Another benefit—hearing the artist perform live gives the listener the chance (in most cases) to see and hear how they really are, that is without the aid of electronic gadgetry enhancement. That was the case this night. Madi Dean seems to be the real deal.

When Postcards sent me and photographer Kelly Lawson to Dosey Doe in Conroe, Texas to hear Madi, we found this to be a first class setting to hear and see a songwriter perform her songs. Dosey Doe is just big enough to invite some excitement and just small enough to provide intimate ambience for dinner and your choice of beverage. A professional sound technician makes sure the plates and glasses don’t shake-rattle-and-roll off the tables, either.

Madi Dean is a senior at Montgomery High School, but already possesses a rare self-confidence for her age. She has the uncanny ability to sound much like an older, polished performer and is right at home on the stage. Her delivery was intact; she was pleasant to the audience, and both kind and respectful to the other songwriter she shared the stage with that evening.

It’s not often that one sees a high school student so clearly focused about their future. Madi is one of those young people who offers hope through a new and different generation, and she was very accommodating as she sat down with Postcards right before her show. - Karen Altom, Altom Consulting & Marketing, Inc.

Community report

Conroe country music artists Kenna Danielle, Madi Dean, Amber Adams and Michael Player and the Warehouse Rock Academy Band are taking the stage March 7 to perform at the Texas Independence Music Festival at the Sparkle Event Hall in Conroe.

Supporting Caiden’s Hope Foundation, the Texas Independence Music Festival will showcase local country and rock and roll talent at the Sparkle Event Hall located at 101 Metcalf in Conroe.

The music will start at 7 p.m. with UnderAge from the Warehouse Rock Academy followed by Montgomery County country artists Amber Adams, Kenna Danielle, Madi Dean and Michael Player.

The artists are supporting Caiden’s Hope Foundation, a 501c3 charitable organization headquartered in The Woodlands that provides parents with a premature child free hotels and free prepaid gas cards allowing them to personally care for their hospitalized premature child. Caiden's Hope focuses on alleviating the unexpected financial burden associated with hotels and other travel related expenses.

The event will feature music, BBQ provided by Manny’s BBQ Grill, a Silent Auction featuring two roundtrip airline tickets provided by Southwest Airlines, a weekend in San Antonio at the Hilton Garden Inn and two free room nights at La Quinta Inns and Suites. Raffle items will also be available including autographed country music CD’s, automotive care products donated by the Gold Eagle Company, Gift cards provided by Bed Bath and Beyond and Amazon. -

The coffee shop at Dosey Doe in Conroe, will be keeping the tradition of songwriters in the round when they host Brandon Steadman and Madi Dean. Steadman performs singer songwriter types of songs, alongside a more rock meets country vibe. His group, Brandon Steadman Band dropped a “new country” type of album with this year’s “Recovery.” Madi Dean dropped an album as well this year, called “My Kind of Love.” Dean performs a bit of a more old country meets new country sound, while steering clear from the more pop elements of what Nashville’s been offering lately. Dean has the voice of a seasoned veteran, which makes the fact that she’s seventeen even harder to imagine. The doors are at 8:00 and the tickets are $10.00. - David Garrick; Free Press Houston
