ABOUT
Hailing from small town Fergus, Ontario, Madison Galloway has been making a name for herself as a must-see act. She charms audiences with her refreshing original tunes, while delivering her signature bluesy roots-rock sound, hallmarked by her soulful voice and guitar prowess, and bolstered by her dynamic and talented band. She's brought her high-energy, charismatic performance to hundreds of stages, both nationally and abroad, including prominent festivals like Kitchener Blues Festival and Riverfest Elora, and sharing the spotlight with acclaimed artists such as 54-40 and Jack de Keyzer, among others.
Kicking off her musical journey with the release of her debut EP in 2015, Madison continued to impress with her full-length album Moon & Mercury (2019), earning accolades as a Blues & Roots Radio International Song Contest finalist. In August 2022, she unveiled a new single “Open Your Eyes,” in anticipation of her upcoming album, which swiftly became her most popular track yet, surpassing 145K streams on Spotify alone. The song found its place on significant playlists such as Spotify's “Modern Blues Rock” and Joe Bonamassa’s “Cutting Edge Blues”. Madison's achievements culminated in a noteworthy triumph as she was honoured with the title of "Southern Rock Artist of the Year" at the prestigious Josie Music Awards (Nashville, TN) in 2023. With Madison's highly anticipated sophomore album out now, she continues to captivate audiences with her unmistakable sound.
