About Madison Rising Madison Rising's self-titled debut album was released in October 2011. The band – with Dave Bray on vocals, Alex Bodnar on bass and guitar, Christopher Schreiner on lead guitar and Sam Fishman on drums – makes guitar heavy rock music with a distinctively pro-American message and sound. The overarching theme of the Madison Rising's music is that of liberty, independence, smaller government and personal responsibility. This is a group of musicians fueled by an eternal gratitude and love for their country. Madison Rising's site
