Popular Irish singer/songwriter Paul Brady To Play At Madison High School

With a new album, and plenty of fire in his belly, Paul Brady comes to Madison in order to raise money for the High School Marching Band and Music Program and to give what promises to be a lesson in musical mastery. All who were lucky enough to secure tickets to see Paul Brady in the past year where he showcased the odd tune from his new album, "Hooba Dooba", will attest to how mesmerising this maverick of the Irish folk and contemporary music scene can be. 

Lauded by critics, Niall Stokes from Hot Press Magazine had this to say about Paul Brady's newest album: "Hooba Dooba, his first album since 2005's "Say What You Feel", is an ambitious record. It deals in the big themes: love, faith, destiny, money, politics and death. But more than that, perhaps, it is a craftman's tour de force, a vibrant statement of songwriterly intent from an artist who has achieved a mastery of the grammar of popular music and is capable of marrying that to fine lyric writing and superb musicianship." 

In the past few years Paul has been honoured with lifetime achievement awards from IRMA (Irish Recorded Music Association), The British Academy of Composers and Songwriters, and BBC Radio 2's Folk Awards. Continuing to tour extensively both as a solo performer and with his own band, he has forged a reputation as a passionate and exciting performer and attracts a dedicated following worldwide. 

On the night before the Madison concert, he will be performing at the at the Northern Ireland Economic Conference organized by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (which the President and First Lady are expected to attend). 

The Madison concert offers an opportunity to see this legendary artist perform in an intimate setting at negligible cost, with the proceeds going to a worthy cause.
