Madam Radar and Paul McDonald

Madam Radar

 Embracing the spirit of Americana with Rock n’ Roll sex appeal - Madam Radar is an Americana rock band that punches hard with its explosive harmonies, soaring guitar solos, and eclectic original tunes.                 

 MOTEL is their latest album, produced by Steve Berlin of Los Lobos, delivering passionate guitar work, big harmonies, and songwriting that cuts straight to the bone. Built on stories from nearly a decade of traveling together,  the family band’s signature blend of Americana, rock, and southern soul captures the electricity of their live shows with the polish of a seasoned studio effort

Paul McDonald

Born in Alabama and baptized in the dive bars of the southeast, Paul McDonald first made noise with the Grand Magnolias, a roots-rock outfit, before catching fire in the public eye during American Idol's 2011 run.

When the bright lights blurred and the cameras turned, the man behind the voice slipped into the shadows where he did what real artists do: He lived, he lost, and he wrote.  Retreating to Nashville, that holy city of reinvention, Paul stitched himself back together with worn boots, hard songs, and a new band called The Mourning Doves.

Now, in 2025, the giant has stirred the release of "So Long to the Dark Side" - a gospel tinged reckoning wrapped in cosmic Americana and lit with songs that sound like they were scribbled on the edge of a breakdown and sung back from the brink.  Raised on Petty, Parsons, and pain, Paul McDonald is not chasing trends, he's conjuring something older and truer.  His live performances are equal parts revival and rock séance.
