Details:
What is failure? Greg Madden was once a Cub Scout who never became a Boy Scout. Married young. Divorced young. Married again. Divorced again. The guy in the band who furnished the equipment and drove the van. The soundman at the local bar for touring acts like Chris Smither, Dar Williams, Peter Mulvey, Carrie Newcomer and John Gorka. He became an example of the American dream with its trappings and its shortcoming. When he turned 40 he realized he was no one and everyone. It's from this perspective that Greg's song writing skills have evolved from simple love songs to stories about lost innocence, misguided patriotism, suicide and hope for a better tomorrow. Influenced by pop music of the 60's, he mixes the styles of Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Tom Petty and the Eagles to create a unique sound with a feel of familiarity to create the self released "Driving 'Till Morning" CD. Mickey Rooney once said, 'You always pass failure on the way to success'. That is the story of Greg Madden.
