Adorner -- Single Release Party!
ADORNER’s music is a journey that blurs the lines between ethereal, psychedelic, and fiery progressive rock. The project is the brainchild of singer-songwriter Madeline Stadel. Born and raised in Milwaukee, WI, ADORNER’s sound is defined by Madeline’s powerful vocals, lush keyboards and other-worldly synths; all heightened and fully realized by her masterful band mates, Ryan (drums), Levee (bass), and El Tres Da Nova (guitar). With a sound often described as "intricate, and proggy ," ADORNER has spent the last 4 years captivating audiences across Milwaukee, Chicago, and into the greater Midwest as a whole. Following the release of their debut album, ASCENSION, which was featured in 88.9 Radio Milwaukee and Milwaukee Magazine, ADORNER has performed at notable venues like Vivarium (MKE), Schubas (CHI), and made appearances at prominent festivals such as Summerfest and Chill On The Hill (MKE). Currently, they are crafting their upcoming new heavy progressive album, set for a 2026 release.
