Country Artist Maddie Lenhart Releases Stunning New Single "Drive Me Crazy"

October 24, 2025 (Nashville, TN): Nashville country artist Maddie Lenhart releases new single "Drive Me Crazy." The single is now available on all digital streaming platforms. (preferred music platform) or listen below.

With “Drive Me Crazy,” Maddie Lenhart delivers a breathtaking dose of freedom, longing, and wild abandon — wrapped in a sound that feels like the golden hour between country and indie folk. From the opening line, “I been stayin’ on the safe side, in between the white lines,” Lenhart paints a picture of emotional restraint and the aching desire to finally break free. What follows is a crescendo of grit and grace — jangling guitars, steady percussion, and a vocal that balances vulnerability with fire. 

Sonically, “Drive Me Crazy” lands somewhere between Kacey Musgraves’ “Slow Burn” and Maggie Rogers’ “Alaska” — fusing rootsy warmth with a modern edge. Lenhart’s voice glows with authenticity — soft where it needs to ache, bold where it needs to soar — and her lyrics hit like headlights on an empty highway: romantic, restless, and real. By the time she reaches the chorus — “I wanna feel that rush, feel that fire / Like a ’68 Mustang goin’ 95” — you’re right there with her, chasing that same spark of something dangerous and beautiful.

The Song You’ll Never Forget: Country Artist Maddie Lenhart’s “I Can’t Remember Anything”

THE SONG YOU’LL NEVER FORGET: COUNTRY ARTIST MADDIE LENHART’S “I CAN’T REMEMBER ANYTHING”

June 27th, 2025 (Nashville, TN):  Maddie Lenhart’s new single “I Can’t Remember Anything” is a quiet emotional knockout — warm, unassuming, and then suddenly devastating. It opens with a shrug: “My mama said I would forget / My head if it wasn’t attached to my neck.” But don’t be fooled. Lenhart isn’t writing a song about being forgetful — she’s writing about the memories that won’t let go. 

She stacks the verses with soft but striking detail: “The mix of your cologne and bonfire smoke from last September,” “the way you’d kiss me, and your skin would flush.” These aren’t just lines; they’re moments stuck in a loop, the kind that haunt no matter how much time passes. And the chorus? It’s a knockout punch: “If I can’t remember anything that I want to / How come I can’t forget a single thing about you?” Lenhart never overplays the emotion — she lets the truth do the work.

Since leaving her 9-to-5 during the pandemic to pursue music full-time, Lenhart has emerged as one of Nashville’s most compelling new voices. Her debut single “Sober” earned nearly 400K organic streams, and she’s performed at The Listening Room, Bluebird Café, and a sold-out hometown show at The Barns at Wolftrap.

This summer, she played both a full-band ASCAP set for a CMA takeover and on the Spotlight Stage at CMA Fest 2025. She’ll appear at The Kennedy Center today Friday, June 27th, performing original material, and was recently featured as one of Holler’s 10 Artists You Need to Know. With “I Can’t Remember Anything,” Lenhart proves that sometimes the quietest songs are the ones that stay with you longest.

Country Artist and CMA Fest Spotlight Stage Performer Maddie Lenhart Releases Stunning New Single “Time Traveler"

May 16, 2025 (Nashville, TN): Meet Maddie Lenhart, country’s next favorite female voice. She captivates fans with her hair-standing new single “Time Traveler,” released today. You can find the single on all digital streaming platforms HERE. (preferred music platform) or below:

Lenhart’s latest single, “Time Traveler,” is a warm, honeyed meditation on presence in a world obsessed with what's next. Written with Brianna Nelson and Julie Eddy and produced by Brad Hill (Maren Morris, Brothers Osborne), the song sways between nostalgia and clarity, carried by Maddie’s golden-toned voice and a production that glows like a slow-setting sun.

With lines like: “Life’s a one-way road / So take it in and take it slow / Don’t you know right now is all that matters?” Lenhart invites listeners to pause, breathe, and let go of the need to chase time. It’s not a song Lenhart has written — it’s a soul check.

Maddie shared “I wrote this song because I needed to hear it. I’m a chronically nostalgic person—always longing for the past, always wishing I could go back and live it all over again. And as I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized it’s because I struggle so much being present. I’m always already bracing for the next thing or worrying it’ll all slip away too fast. The “now” is all we have— may this song be a reminder to me, and you, to live in it.. before it’s just another memory to miss”❤️

Born and raised in a small town in the heart of Virginia's countryside, Maddie Lenhart has emerged as one of country music’s most captivating new voices. Her Appalachian roots run deep, and her sound reflects the richness of that heritage—fusing elements of Bluegrass, Pop & Rock into her classic country storytelling. The result is a style that feels both fresh and timeless.

After spending the last seven years living in Nashville, Maddie has made her mark behind the scenes, writing songs for other artists across the genre.

After leaving her 9-to-5 during the pandemic to pursue music full-time, Maddie has found her footing as a compelling new voice in the Nashville scene.

Her debut single “Sober” clocked nearly 400K organic streams, and she’s performed at The Listening Room, Bluebird Café, and a sold-out hometown show at The Barns at Wolftrap. Catch her this summer at CMA Fest 2025, performing both a full band ASCAP set at Fifth & Peabody and an elevated acoustic set on the Spotlight Stage sponsored by SoFi.
