Country-pop singer and songwriter Maddox Batson will take the Chevy Court stage at The Great New York State Fair on Saturday, August 29, at 6 p.m.
Known for relatable songwriting and catchy melodies that have fueled his viral rise on streaming platforms and social media, the Warner Records/Prosper Entertainment artist has quickly built a devoted fanbase internationally. Blending modern country with pop influences, his sound resonates strongly with younger audiences while remaining rooted in classic storytelling. Batson first gained attention through performing country covers on social media that showcased his vocal ability and charisma. He has since broken through with fan-favorite tracks like “X’s,” “Tears in the River,” “Girl in Green,” and “I Wanna Know,” in addition to a co-write on Lana Del Rey and Quavo’s Billboard Hot 100 hit “Tough.”
The only 16-year-old on a headlining international tour, his live shows are marked by high energy and a genuine connection with fans, cementing his status as one of today’s most promising new voices. Batson is the youngest male artist to ever appear on Billboard’s 21 under 21 list, while the LA Times praised him as, “a country Justin Bieber in the making.” The young artist will also make his acting debut in the upcoming Nate Bargatze and Mandy Moore film The Breadwinner.
