• James is wrapping up the Light of Day tour with Willie Nile, Joe D'Urso, and Israel Nash. It all began on 12/2 in Zurich, Switzerland followed by four gigs in Italy and then on to the UK for three more. Check for details and if you happen to be in the area (maybe you're doing a little skiing or christmas shopping) then drop by and say hi.
• James will be back in NY in mid-December for the two last shows of 2011. See "shows" for details.
• Brand new Wake Up And Dream t-shirts will be available. We hope to have them available for the holidays. They have a great new design by Jill Anne and will look great on all of you!!
• There will be a BRAND NEW SONG coming out in January called "My Old Neighborhood". It's not on the WUAD disc and we haven't even played it live so it will be totally new to everyone. And a new video to go with it!
• All the best to you all for the holidays and keep following James on FB and Twitter.

WAKE UP AND DREAM OUT NOW!

In little over a year, James Maddock has gone from "Whatever happened to James Maddock?" to "How can we live without the music of James Maddock?" With the upcoming release (6/21) of Wake Up and Dream Maddock firmly establishes himself as one of the truly gifted performing songwriters on the American landscape. As a transplanted Briton rooted on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, Maddock effortlessly translates the aspirations and longing of his ever growing legion of followers into song. His 2010 NY Music Award for best Americana Album for Sunrise On Avenue C is long overdue corroboration of the fact.

First recognized in the U.S as the front-man for the band Wood (Songs From Stamford Hill - Columbia Records), Maddock has steadily gained traction in the Northeast U.S. with his infectious live performances and accessible touch with his fans. A top 50 chart position at non-comm radio in 2010 for Sunrise on Avenue C leaves Maddock poised to break through to a mainstream audience in 2011 with Wake Up and Dream. Pre-ordered CDs will be mailed on 6/21.
