Madison Violet will be hitting the road for the Spring run of their tour this week in support of their recent release, The Good in Goodbye (True North Records). Their tour kicks off in Ithaca on May 17 and from there they will be making their way across the East Coast hitting Boston, NYC and Maryland's DelFest over Memorial Day weekend along the way. Known for their incredible live sets that pair Americana-inspired roots music with disarmingly lovely pop music, the acclaimed duo have most recently been touring through Europe and Australia. For a taste of what is to come, check out their stunning performance of "Come As You Are" performed at KulturKirche in Köln, Germany exclusively at AmericanSongwriter.com HERE<http://www.americansongwriter.com/2012/05/video-premiere-madison-violet-come-as-you-are/>.
Since releasing their last album, No Fool for Trying (2009), Madison Violet took home the 2009 Canadian Folk Music Award for Vocal Group of the Year, a 2010 JUNO Award nomination for Roots & Traditional Album of the Year (Group), and won the 2009 John Lennon Songwriting Contest for their track "The Ransom." As a follow-up to their breakthrough successes, The Good in Goodbye captures the duo's growth and musical maturity. Already nominated for a 2012 ECMA for Folk
Recording of the Year in Canada, Their distinct take on iconic Americana-inspired up-tempo melodies beautifully contrasts with their breathtakingly sweeping and personal lyrics, creating songs that blend nods to Lucinda Williams and Gillian Welch with radio-friendly flecks of The Band Perry.
