Feinstein's Welcomes American Idol Winner Maddie Poppe This Month

On March 17 and 18, Feinstein's will welcome Maddie Poppe. Maddie Poppe is an American singer-songwriter, musician and the season 16 winner of American Idol.

She is a multi-instrumentalist and plays the guitar, piano and Ukulele. She received a People's Choice Award in the category of Competition Contestant for her American Idol performance.

The Iowa native has captured the attention of fans with her folksy singer-songwriter style. Following her Idol victory, Poppe had a hit Number 2 on the iTunes Pop Charts and went on to become a guest on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Live With Kelly & Ryan and Good Morning America.

Poppe toured the country, opening for Ingrid Michaelson. Michaelson, also an American singer-songwriter, performed in the Broadway musical Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812. The Emmy nominated performer recently was writing music and lyrics for the musical adaption of The Notebook. ABC Hot AC had a statement from Michaelson prior to their tour: “She's so talented and kind and I can't wait to hear her every night.”

Last fall, Poppe toured with Joshua Radin. Radin is known for his many songs that have been used in films and television series including Scrubs, Grey's Anatomy, One Tree Hill, Shameless and others.
