Madison Rising Booking Profile

Madison Rising – named in honor of James Madison, the fourth president of the United States, and a key author of the Constitution, The Bill of Rights and The Federalist Papers – launched its debut album in October, 2011 and has been steadily growing in popularity ever since. With songs ranging from inspirational tributes to our men and women in uniform like“Soldiers of America” and “Walking Though That Door,” to anthems like “American Dream” that honor our great nation, to the band’s #1 best-selling rock rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner,” it is clear that this band is on a mission to not only make great music, but to also send a message that American culture is alive and well. Madison Rising released its widely acclaimed version of the Star Spangled Banner the summer of 2012, updated with a special addendum to reflect our nation’s struggles at the dawn of the 21st century. In conjunction with that release, the band launched the Star Spangled Banner Challenge to offer Americans a fun and meaningful way to show their patriotism by watching the video and downloading the song directly to their iPods and other devices. Along the way, Madison Rising partnered with The National Anthem Celebration Foundation (NACF) regarding their mutual goal of increasing public awareness, education and appreciation for the National Anthem and celebrating a song that identifies America as the land of the free and the home of the brave. The band is made up of four members – Dave Bray on vocals, Alex Bodnar on lead guitar, Sam Fishman on drums and Steve Padelski on bass. Bray himself is a military veteran, having served in the U.S. Navy for four years as an 8404 FMF corpsman for 2nd battalion 2nd marines. Madison Rising promotes the principles of liberty, independence, smaller government and personal responsibility. The band recorded its second album in 2013, and has actively toured the country in recent years.
