MORE ABOUT MAD GALLICA
Mad Gallica is an American singer-keyboardist-composer. Her style is best described as cinematic rock opera.
Mad Gallica grew up touring the southeast with her family, performing old-time Appalachian music and songs her parents had written, often singing harmony and playing a range of instruments. Music resonated strongly at an early age and continued through intense study of classical piano and voice. Mad Gallica has toured the world as back-up singer and keyboardist opening for bands ranging from Metallica and Ozzy to Guns N' Roses and System Of A Down. Mad Gallica's latest debut EP, Enter The Vortex: Act One, was released April 12th, 2024 on all streaming platforms. Accompanied by the Czech Studio Orchestra in Prague, co-produced and co-arranged with Hayden C. Scott (AWOL Nation, Paramore) and mixed by multi-platinum Grammy-winner Bob Horn (Usher, Michael Jackson, Kelly Clarkson), this progressive rock opera received initial funding from a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign supported by hundreds of fans and highlighted on Kickstarter as a "Project We Love."
Mad is currently in pre-production of her 17 song album, Periwinkle Sky, set to release in fall of 2024. This piano-driven album debuts her new band and brings back the string arrangements fans loved in "Souls on Fire." Fans of her acoustic single "Beautiful Creature" can expect a new, fully produced sound in this upcoming sonic adventure.
