November 13, 2009: James Maddock at World Cafe Live
XPN Free at Noon at the World Cafe Live.
A co-production of WXPN and NPR Music.
Back in 2000, James Maddock, lead singer of the now defunct band Wood, was hit pay dirt with their debut album Songs From Stanford Hill on Columbia Records. After Songs From Stanford Hill became an instant hit, receiving top Triple A radio airplay and spots on popular TV dramas such as "Dawson's Creek", Wood was playing shows with big acts Paula Cole and Train.
Ten years since his inital wave of success with Wood, Maddock's devotional love of music has pushed him to create the heartbreaking and beautiful solo debut Sunrise on Avenue C. His songwriting style sounds timeless, as if it emerged from mixing the works of great songwriters past like Wainwright and Dylan.
Join us this Free at Noon to hear Maddock's quiet confidence emanate from rugged vocals and beautifully intimate rock songs.
