RAGBRAI LI Route Announced on Jan. 27!

Maddie Poppe has won American Idol

Congratulations to Maddie Poppe for winning American Idol. It is well deserved. She was excellent all season long.

It was only a few years ago she was playing for us on a flatbed trailer in her hometown. I am so happy for her.

Way to go Maddie. I hope to see you play as a headline act in 2019 if you can find the time. Best of luck to you in the future.

I had the privilege of seeing Maddie on RAGBRAI in 2014. I was riding through Clarksville and was reeled in by her beautiful voice. She was performing on a flatbed trailer. For and hour and a half I was mesmerized and unable to leave until she left the stage. After I threw a few dollar bills in her guitar case I asked around to see if anyone could break a fifty so I could contribute more. Turns out I was talking to her mom who was more than happy to break my fifty. I briefly spoke to Maddie that day and said “I want to see you on TV some day.” Boy did she deliver. Way to go Maddie.
