Where do we belong? Growing up in between international cultures, Maddie found this question especially hard to answer. Maddie Thies, a queer Twin Cities bassist, was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota but grew up in Seoul, South Korea, and thus, identifies as a Third Culture Kid (TCK) - a person who spent their formative years growing up in a country different from that of their origin. While each TCK experience is personal, we can all relate to the need to belong.
To bring additional perspectives to this multifaceted identity, Maddie collaborates with recording artist Tate Egon Chavez (Egon), who himself was born in Los Angeles and raised in Singapore. Additional music support will be provided by drummer Juan Migues, himself a TCK, and from Kailyn Grider.
“Everywhere and Nowhere” explores feelings of liminality, nostalgia, grief, culture shock, and a fractured sense of identity. The artists explore their fluid self images through vulnerable storytelling, creating a space for personal reflection and empathy.
Collaborators:
Tate Egon - vocals, guitar
Kailyn Grider - guitar
Juan Migues - drums
