The Nova Network has announced the launch of a new music show to provide a platform to support and promote Australian artists and tracks. The Maddy Rowe Aus Music Show launches on Sunday 19 March from 6pm.
The new show will feature a range of Australian tracks as well as showcase new local music and artists. Each week host Maddy Rowe, a talented musician in her own right, will chat with an Australian artist to showcase their music and career.
Jodie Williams, Nova’s music director said, “Nova has always been committed to providing a platform to support the emerging and established Australian artists. This year alone Nova’s Red Room has provided music fans with up close and personal experiences with some incredible Australian artists, one of the most exciting up and coming artists Budjerah and respected singer-songwriter Dean Lewis. We are extremely proud to have our own Maddy Rowe, a talented announcer and artist, host this new show that showcases Australian artists and allows fans to discover emerging artists and new tracks.”
Brisbane Nova announcer Maddy Rowe has found success as GENES and has achieved over 50 million global songwriting streams. She has also found Spotify editorial playlisting success for her own music, with inclusions in the Fresh Finds Pop Global and Fresh Finds AU playlists. In 2022 she performed at Suncorp Stadium to 15,000 people, supported Client Liaison, Sheppard, and then Vance Joy at Nova’s Red Room. GENES’ latest single Cold Summer is out now.
Maddy Rowe said, “I’m excited to grow the number of dedicated Australian music shows on commercial radio. Starting this show is the reason why I got into radio. Australia is full of arguably some of the best talent in the world – from the producers and songwriters who work behind the scenes, to the artists who pour their everything into it. If I can help an independent artist with their very first commercial radio play, that’s the magic for me!”
The Maddy Rowe Aus Music Show launches this Sunday from 6pm and kicks off with an interview with artist KYE. KYE has toured with Sampa The Great, Genesis Owusu, Ruel, and Meg Mac, supported TLC on their headline show in Melbourne and performed as part of the Olivia Newton-John tribute at the 2022 ARIA Awards. She was Spotify’s EQUAL Ambassador for AUNZ in December 2022.
