Madison Rising

Billing themselves as America’s most patriotic rock-band, Madison Rising include lead vocalist Dave Bray (himself an armed-forces veteran), drummer Sam Fishman, and bassist Steve Padelski. The music group released its self-titled debut recording in 2011 via Compact disc Baby; twelve months later on, their rendition of “The Celebrity Spangled Banner” debuted on YouTube and garnered many million views. Another recording, American Hero, made an appearance in 2013, also via Compact disc Baby. Tom Dipietro ultimately got over bass responsibilities from Padelski, and any occasion single, “Soldier’s Xmas,” appeared twelve months later.
