DEAN MADONIA: Madness And Desire, One Night In America - Apple iTunes

After I went to the ASCAP expo in LA and heard every industry person talk about "myspace" like it was the second coming, I decided to make a page for myself.

Soundclick.com

This is a really good website for music and I have about 15 songs there.

Eclectic Mix

This is the location of my podcast on Eclectic Mix. I really appreciate being included on a podcast that features one artist at a time.

Bands! Another cool place to rest a few of your pics and sound clips. I have some stuff here.

Music Sites

Melodic.net: Par Winberg has been writing about music for a long time and even though we don't always see eye-to-eye, he is a great guy and very well-informed with his musical opinions.
ASCAP/Murphy's Laws: Ralph Murphy was introduced to me by a mutual friend and has been sort of "the dad I never wanted" since I have been living here. Ralph knows what's going on in Nashville and pretty much anywhere else songs are being written, and he is as candid as they come. I admire candor above all else, so I will always admire this man. He is knowledgeable and helpful, and if you want to know how to write a song, check out his pages.
Concertts In Your Home: Fran is a good friend and a great performer - he started this self-explanatory site awhile back and it's really taking off.
XN Rock Nashville: XN Rock is a website with reviews, a local calendar, and a booking agency for Nashville area Rock Shows.

Friends and Acquaintances

Rivers Rutherford: Rivers is a great writer, performer, friend and mentor. He is a gifted songwriter and he has written many country hits.You can catch him once-in-a-while at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, when he isn't on the road opening for a bunch of big artists including Pat Green and Kieth Urban.
Keep an eye out for him on the country charts where he spends most of his time and check out his CD "Just Another Coaster," it's great!
Jonathan Kreisberg: Jonathan is a gifted guitarist. We were in a Prog/fusion band called "Third Wish" together for several years. The band released an EP as "Third Wish" and A full length CD as "Wyscan" after a name conflict with another band. The players in the band were all top-notch, but what still stands out on that recording is Jonathan's guitar. Jonathan started playing mostly fusion when that band broke up and then a few years later he moved to NY and began to play his take on straight-ahead jazz. His CD "Nine Stories Wide" is an excellent collection and I always look forward to hearing what this innovative player is up to.
Scott Avery: Scotty is a great friend and a great writer. Unfortunately, this link is about the best yer gonna get from the boy. He's not interested in self-promotion, he didn't have much to do with this page. His friend Judy Blem couldn't take it anymore, so she programmed something quick for him. Now you can check out photos and a couple songs at least and see where he's playing. Don't just check the listing - go see him - his shows are great and wildly entertaining!
Stevan Carter: Stevan is a good guy, a great friend and an awesome guitarist. We have been in bands together over the years and he has played on a lot of my recordings (including the solo on Deep Sky's "On the Way Home). Stevan is also a talented screen-writer and he has a music company where he sells tracks for commercials and film. You can check him out here... Get Carter!
Angela Kaset: Angela is a gifted Writer and performer. She has the voice of a wounded angel and has actually gotten me a little misty-eyed during her performances (not so easy to do to a "tough guy" like me). Check out her "Live at the Bluebird." CD. She really sounds like that live!
Rick Beresford: Rick is an amazing writer and performer (and a damn good cook). He and his wife Deanna are great friends. Rick is a song coach and is writing a book about writing, and Deanna is a piano teacher at Vanderbilt University and also an excellent writer.
Jimmy Webb: Jimmy Webb is one of the best songwriters That I have ever heard. I have been lucky enough to meet him a few times and he is a wonderful person. You have to check out his CD, "Ten Easy Pieces." It's just him and a piano and 10 HUGE hits. If you are a writer and want to be inspired, this is your next CD purchase.
Sue Merchant: I have been doing some reviews for garageband.com and once in awhile somebody really stands out. This artist from the UK really got my attention... Beautifully broken voice and nice english progressive/folk guitars and smooth vocals.
Ken Jameson: Ken is one of the best keyboard players I have ever heard - a monster! He is my old partner from Howl at the Moon in Fort Lauderdale, and I miss working with him - check out his website!
Hugh Prestwood: Hugh is the grammy-winning writer of "The Song Remembers When." He has been an inspiration to me.
