I have been performing on voice, keyboards, trombone, and guitar for over thirty years. Having had the good fortune to have played all over the country, from Hawaii to Florida, and from Nova Scotia to Seattle, every style of music has been introduced to me. I graduated from UMass Lowell in 1983 with a degrees in Music Composition and also Music Education. I have been performing, full time, ever since. After leading my own band for over 30 years, I retired from that group so that I can concentrate on performing as a solo artist for private events and senior communities.
In my recording studio (www.maddenmusicstudio.com), I create original orchestral arrangements, produce tracks for new artists, and record talented musicians in many different genres. I have also been teaching piano, guitar, and voice there. I use the studio to make the backing tracks that you will hear at the performances. These tracks are mostly recordings of me playing the different parts such as strings, bass, drums, horns, and backup vocals. Using my keyboard and guitar abilities, and with an extensive sample library to help me achieve a natural sound to my tracks, I will bring to every show a full and rich sound.
Songs you will hear include hits from Frank Sinatra and Michael Buble, The Temptations, Harry Belafonte, Sting, The Beatles, Van Morrison, Rascal Flatts, Dean Martin, Bruno Mars, Pharrell Williams, The Platters, The Drifters, Josh Groban, John Denver, Paul Simon, and many others....
