With a penchant for wildly original songs drawing from timeless American genres such as roots, folk, Americana, and blues, the duo of Madisen Ward and the Mama Bear has risen from the coffeehouse circuit of their Midwest hometown of Independence, Missouri to international and festival sensation, releasing two albums and an EP in the five short years of its existence.

We sit down with Madisen and The Mama Bear and have a conversation about what it is like to work as a team with your Mother, taking the stage in front of an audience with no expectation, remembering the moment when it all started to happen for them, and so much more!
