Madeira appeared with Neil Young, Sheryl Crow, Leon Russell, and Jack White on CMT's Willie Nelson's 80th Birthday Party, hosted by CMT network.

The year 2014 marked the release of Humming People's "City of Lost Men", produced in Norway by Madeira, leading to a long-standing relationship with the band. Madeira's song "From This Valley" (co-written and recorded by The Civil Wars) won the Grammy for Best Country Performance by a Duo in 2014.

Madeira commenced work on a follow-up to his "Mercyland" project in the summer of 2014. "Mercyland: Hymns For The Rest Of Us, Vol II" was released on Mercyland Records in 2016. And in 2015, Madeira finished two solo projects, "Motorcycle" and "Soul Of A Man".
