Get to know Maddy Grace

 Maddy Grace Wood has always had a deep love for the arts. From a young age, she knew that her career would be dedicated to making music and live events more inclusive, accepting, and reflective of diverse experiences; both her own and those of the people she’s learned from. Whether she’s organizing large-scale performances, managing ticketing for live shows, or engaging audiences with her lively hosting style, Maddy brings a passion for community, collaboration, and creativity to everything she does.  

With a major in Music Industry and a minor in Applied Music, Maddy is shaping a career that balances event operations with her own creative pursuits. Her ultimate dream aims to combine both her love of  live entertainment operations  and songwriting. She would love to one day becoming a ghostwriter for indie-folk artists. She believes that anyone who wants to perform should have that opportunity, and she hopes to continue creating spaces where music can be a force for connection, expression, and inclusion.

 Her experience in live entertainment operations is extensive. As the current Box Office Manager at TempleLive Cleveland, she oversees ticketing operations, manages cash reconciliation, and provides excellent customer service for touring acts. She’s also worked as a Tour Merchandise Associate for TempleLive Cleveland and as an Ancillary Team Member for Live Nation at Blossom Music Center. 

 Maddy doesn’t just work behind the scenes—she thrives on stage as well. As a Music Trivia Host, she crafts original scripts and engages audiences with witty banter and deep-cut rock & roll knowledge. She also has experience in radio broadcasting, having worked as a DJ for WBWC: The Sting, where she curated playlists, developed marketing campaigns, and helped promote independent artists.

 Maddy Grace Wood has led marketing efforts across the music industry, from Tragic Hero Records, to WBWC: The Sting, where she designed campaigns and digital content as Promotions Director. She also supported Baldwin Wallace’s Music Industry Program with strategic outreach. 

 At Baldwin Wallace University, Maddy serves as the President of the Prism Concert Series, the largest performance group on campus, where she ensures that all applicants, regardless of background or experience, have a place to share their talent. Her dedication to accessibility in the arts started long before college; at just 16 years old, she volunteered as the Operations Director for a fundraiser that raised $90,000 in a single night to fund arts education in public schools throughout the Greater Sacramento area.
