The songs of Madison Fair are not content with just being heard. Their melodies want to take up permanent residence in your head. The rhythms want to be felt in your chest. The words want to resonate in your heart. The songs of Madison Fair are bigger than your stereo.



If you listen close you can hear the influence of people like Tom Petty and the Cars. Or perhaps you'll hear similarities between Madison Fair and contemporaries like Matchbox 20 or John Mayer. In any case, as you hear Justin Register's warm tenor lilt and soar over a wash of bright guitars and pulsing rhythms, you'll know that Madison Fair has a magic all it's own.



The journey begins in June of 2002 when Register found himself heading for the studio with a renewed commitment to the two pillars of good music- songwriting and melody. His friend Eric McCoy agreed to do the recording for what was supposed to be a solo acoustic project. But at the point they should have been done, all they could hear were the songs begging for more room.



So Eric began applying his formidable skills as a guitarist to Justin's music. He was joined by Chris Carroll (drums) and Jason Mauer (bass) who gave the songs a rhythmic life that are now one of the hallmarks of the Madison Fair sound. After they finished recording a three song demo, Mauer bowed out to take up other duties and bass ingénue Blake Rodchester stepped in without missing a beat.



Since then, these four have been making believers out of the curious all over the southeast and working diligently on a full-length record that has just been released.



Imagine music that takes those small everyday moments and opens them up to show us the mystery that hides just under the surface. Love. Sorrow. Expectation. Joy. These are the songs of Madison Fair. Songs that are big enough to invite you inside them. Songs that are bigger than your stereo.

  • great album
    author: pyle benson

    this album combines the poetic fallacies of justin register with melodic irish guitar riffs by eric, but includes the 80's metal beats of chis carol, with chuck berry meets victor wooten bass bumps by buff....overall good john mayorish album with an edge...should go double brass or platinum...whichever is better....buy it and write a review.
