Rooted in the hotbed of country music, Samantha
Madison and her band, WildCard, are a group of versatile
musicians whose combined talents forge a performance that
exhibits a broad spectrum of styles with conviction. Samantha's
vocal prowess has brought her to the National Finals of
the Colgate Country Showdown and won her a series of awards,
as well as an array of full opening slots for top recording
artists such as Travis Tritt, Mark Wills, and Billy Ray
Cyrus.
Samantha Madison's brother, Stacey, accompanies
her on keys, and produces her original material in his studio.
Samantha's album, "No Regrets ", is slated for
completion by the end of 2009. Drummer Steve Hines, provides
a rock-solid foundation and comes from an exhaustive educational
background from S.D.S.U., Music Tech in Minneapolis, and
Musicians Institute in Hollywood. Being 6' 8", he also
doubles as the band bodyguard. 6-String guru, Charlie Knobloch,
employs a multitude of effects in his live performance,
essentially making him a "lead chameleon" where
he covers electric guitar, pedal steel, and fiddle instrumentation.
Jeremy Maloney plays electric bass, but also totes around
a century-old Czechoslovakian upright, nicknamed "The
Beast", with whom he shares an extensive classical
history.
