ADORNER’s music is a transcendent force of nature with a personal mission to adorn their creation “for the sake of beauty alone”. The group is the brainchild of the Milwaukee native songwriter Madeline Stadel, leading the group with her evocative lyrics, big-synth-sounds, lush keyboards, and powerful vocals. Her songs are fully realized by her band on a progressive rock canvas that is both exciting and expansive. Madeline formed her group in 2020 after a lifetime of songwriting, and since then ADORNER has been consistently moving forward expanding their following, performing, and releasing music, including their first full length album “ASCENSION”, released in August of 2024. Together they play songs with a poetic disposition, combining energetic edge with soulful emotion, leading their listeners to a celestial and other-worldly state of mind with every song.
ADORNER has made appearances at fine local venues such as Cactus Club, the new Pabst Theatre Group VIVARIUM as the first band to ever play the new stage, and they were also featured as guests at the 88Nine Radio Milwaukee’s State of Sound series. They have also made festival appearances at the “Worlds Largest Music Festival” Summerfest, and they headlined one of the highest attended nights in the 2024 season of Chill On The Hill. Their appearances in the Chicagoland area include Schubas, Sleeping Village, and they have also played shows in the surrounding areas of Madison, Appleton; and on a regional level they have expanded in to Kansas City, and Nashville. ADORNER has also been featured in local publications FOX-6, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, and Milwaukee Magazine under the title “Artists You Should Know”. ADORNER brings unforgettable artistry and passion to every stage they perform on.
