Madison Rising to Play Benefit Concert in Fort Worth, 10/16

Madison Rising, America's most patriotic rock band, returns to Texas on October 16, 2013 for a special benefit concert to support local area veterans. The event itself will involve several Texas based guest speakers including Jeff Kyle (brother of the American Sniper Chris Kyle), Bruce Redding representing the office of Senator Ted Cruz, Senatorial Candidate Dewayne Stovall, Jacob Schick of The Carry the Load Foundation, and Bryan Grey of SOS (http://www.sosinc.org), an experience-based training that enables veterans to make meaning from direct life experiences. All funds raised at the concert will go directly to S.O.S.'s programs to help veterans regain their lives.

Madison Rising is scheduled to release their second album - American Hero - dedicated to the men and women of our armed forces, along with the police, firefighters and other first responders on Tuesday November 5, 2013. The video for the new single - Ready If It Goes There - is now available on YouTube at: http://youtu.be/5zrYi2JtRaQ.

Since the release of their first album in 2011, the band has worked tirelessly to create an entirely new genre of music - patriotic rock. Combining a brilliant classic/modern rock sound, with relevant and meaningful subject matter including inspirational tributes to our men and women in uniform, anthems that honor our great nation, and the band's best-selling rock rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner," it is clear that this band is on a mission to not only make great music, but to also send a message that American culture is alive and well.

The new album will consist of 10 tracks, anchored by the band's best selling rendition of The Star Spangled Banner (http://starspangledbannerchallenge.com), and closing with a new, but equally powerful rock rendition of America The Beautiful. Some of the eight other original tracks on album include: PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, the most critical issue the military faces at the moment); Open Road - a powerful song about freedom, liberty, and controlling your own destiny; Something Wicked - an ominous warning about the decay of our society; and Lock 'N Load - a powerful anthem dedicated to our Navy SEALS.

Madison Rising is coming off the heels of a busy summer schedule which included opening for Lynyrd Skynryd at the 73rd Annual Motorcycle Rally at Sturgis this past summer, headlining the military appreciation concert at the North Texas State Fair, opening for rock legends Kansas in Toledo, performing a halftime show for 50,000 people at Qualcomm Stadium for a San Diego Chargers game and a host of others.

The October 16th event begins at 6:00 PM at the Capital Bar & Grill: 800 Main Street in Fort Worth. Early bird and veteran/servicemen discounts are available at http://madisonrisingsosbenefit.eventbrite.com.

Madison Rising is on a mission to reignite authentic American culture through great rock music. The band promotes the principles of liberty, independence, smaller government and personal responsibility. Madison Rising: Music with meaning.
