Singer-songwriter with a raw, soulful voice
Additional Info:
A rock & roll lifer, JAMES MADDOCK has been carving his unique path since the 1980s, when the New York City based, British-born singer/songwriter kicked off his career with a raw, soulful voice; a storyteller’s sense of narrative; and the ability to blur the lines between folk, classic pop, and rock.Since his early days in London, he’s ridden the wave of a music industry that’s ebbed, flowed, peaked, and crashed. Maddock has stayed afloat throughout the entire ride, enjoying a brush with commercial success during the late 1990s – including a major-label record deal, a Top 5 AAA radio hit, and a song placements on major TV Series – before transforming himself into an independent solo artist during the decades that followed.He has performed regularly with Willie Nile, Aaron Comess (Spin Doctors), David Immergluck (Counting Crows), Brian Mitchell (Levon Helm Band) and SNL drummer Shawn Pelton and has shared the stage with many well known artists such as Bruce Springsteen, The Waterboys, Pete Seeger, Levon Helm and many others. According to radio legend Vin Scelsa, Maddock’s “heartbreakingly beautiful and exquisitely crafted” music “touches the soul.” Relix Magazine put it this way: James Maddock possesses the kind of lived-in craggy voice that would sound authoritative if he were singing the sports pages. Fortunately, he doesn’t need to do that because his compositional skills are a match for his delivery.” Stuart McLachlan from LouderThanWar.com wrote that James has the ability to stun a crowded room into awe with just himself and a guitar and that all his songs share a haunting guitar backdrop, and his voice is a marvel, torn and battered by life but infinitely resilient.As a songwriter, James had three songs co-written with Mike Scott on the Waterboys album Modern Blues (which appeared in the Top 50 on the UK Albums Chart) and a co-write with Gary Barlow (Actress) on Barlows album (2X Platinum). Songs from Another Life have been featured on NBCs Parenthood and ABC Familys Switched at Birth. Maddock is a constant live presence in the U.S. and Europe.Maddock’s “heartbreakingly beautiful and exquisitely crafted music touches the soul.” US Radio legend Vin Scelsa.James Maddock has the ability to stun a crowded room into awe with just himself and a guitar, all his songs share a haunting guitar backdrop, and his voice is a marvel, torn and battered by life but infinitely resilient – Stuart McLachlan from LouderThanWar
