Maradeen LIVE @ Asheville Music Hall 10-13-2017
MARADEEN is an American rock band from Nashville, TN comprised of Whit Murray (guitar, vocals), Kaitlyn Connor (piano, vocals), Tom Galloway (guitar, vocals), & John Rodrigue (drums).
In 2014, founding members Murray and Connor fused their jazz and classical backgrounds with their affinity for high-energy electric rock, creating an undeniably unique sound and on-stage chemistry. In 2015, songwriter Tom Galloway moved to Nashville and began collaborating with the band. Murray and Galloway shared a musical history under the band, Mama’s Love, who had also shared the stage with Connor’s prog rock band, Afro. Berklee School of Music connected Murray with John Rodrigue, rounding out the lineup.
Their first LP, Mirage (2015), revealed well-versed musicianship and intricate sonic dynamics. Moon Taxi’s Wes Bailey took the production helm for MARADEEN’s second album, Above the Horizon (2016), and brought to life a sound that was more eclectic, more layered, and more refined all at the same time.
