Concert by alt-pop singer Maddie Zahm at the Lincoln Theatre in Raleigh.
Maddie Zahm plays the Lincoln Theatre on Wednesday, October 21, with doors at 7 PM and the show starting at 8 PM. It's a single-bill night, so she's the only name on the marquee.
If you're not familiar with her, Zahm makes vulnerable alt-pop that works through body image, religious trauma, and her queer identity. She first got national attention as a contestant on American Idol in 2018, but she's spent the years since building a following around deeply personal songs that have gone viral on their own—'Fat Funny Friend' and 'You Might Not Like Her' are two of the ones that have stuck.
That's the core of what she does: songs that start with something specific and personal and end up hitting a lot wider. The themes she returns to—body image, religious trauma, and her queer identity—are the same ones that have defined her writing since those early viral tracks. If you've followed her from the American Idol days, this is the sound she's been refining.
