Maddie Zahm’s sophomore album, Everything All The Time, grew out of a childhood spent watching Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood — not as nostalgia, but as a compass. The lesson she carried from that experience into the studio is one the record keeps returning to: that feeling deeply is both a gift and a responsibility.
About the Show
Zahm brings that album to Asbury Hall at Babeville on Wednesday, October 28, as part of the Everything All The Time Tour — a fall run that has already taken her through the UK and Amsterdam before settling into a national U.S. headlining stretch through October and November, with multiple dates selling out along the way. Released September 25, 2026 on MNRK Nashville and produced by Ehren Ebbage, the record is a warm, kaleidoscopic 12 tracks that Zahm describes as capturing “what somebody who feels wild emotions feels on a daily basis.” She has called it “an album that I didn’t know I was writing.” The sonic range bears that out: the title track opens on delicate piano before sweeping into acoustic guitar and drums; “Meryl” works through Zahm’s retrospective understanding of her own sexuality; “Hometown Letdown” trains a sarcastic eye on online criticism from her religious hometown community; and “Told You So” holds romance and friendship and sisterhood all inside the same song.
Opening the night is Semler, the performing name of South Carolina-born Grace Baldridge, raised as a pastor’s kid and now one of the more genuinely interesting voices in alt-Christian music. Her philosophy, by her own description, is “praise and rage” — unbridled joy braided with righteous anger about injustice in a divinely created world. She blends folk, acoustic country/punk, and indie folk, and she has said of her own journey: “I think once I embraced my queerness as not a burden but as a divine gift, it really opened up everything for me about how I understand divinity.” Baldridge’s debut album, Revival In My Mind, arrived in February 2025. The pairing makes intuitive sense: both Zahm and Semler are writing about identity, faith, and the ongoing work of figuring out who you are allowed to be.
