Maradeen Bio:
Maradeen is an american rock band based out of Nashville, Tennessee. Founded by guitarist Whit Murray, keyboardist Kaitlyn Connor and bassist Sterling Miller, the band formed their initial roots as a high energy rock n roll band. With classical and jazz improvisation backgrounds they forged and evolved a unique and well-versed sound. In 2015 Tom Galloway moved to Nashville for songwriting and began collaborations with Murray. The band entered the analog studio “Welcome to 1979” in the spring of 2015 and recorded their first full-length LP entitled, “Mirage”. The album features the initial hard-hitting rockers from the band’s formative stage while revealing the new songwriting dynamic between Murray and Galloway. Although the band was new to the scene at this time, the origins of Maradeen run deep. Murray played lead guitar for Galloway’s band, Mama’s Love, between the years of 2009-12. During this time they toured nationwide, developed a devoted fanbase, and recorded with renowned producers Tom Tapley and John Keane. Galloway continued fronting Mama’s Love while Murray extended his education at The Berklee College of Music. Mama’s Love had shared the stage with the progressive rock band, Afro, several times in the past which featured Connor on keys. Connor met Miller through the MTSU music program where Miller majored in audio engineering and played with bands Harrison Anvil and The Bourbon Barrel Band. A long line of history, coincidence, and mutual passion brought together the group, and they continue to make strides as they climb the mountain of music.
