Tom Madden - Lead Guitar, Vocals

 

Tommy is rated the #1 Lead Guitarist in the Elvis industry. Tommy is going on his eighth year as a member of EAS and has been a welcome addition on lead and rhythm guitars. He has often been called a James Burton virtuoso, as his style is reminiscent of Elvis’s magical concerts and tours of the 1970’s.

 

Tom has helped lead EAS to their goal of matching the classic TCB sound. All songs are carefully dissected by Tom and matched note for note. 

 

The other thing that Tommy brings to EAS is an incredible attitude. While others are about themselves, with Tommy it's about the music and the band.....not about himself. Which is impossible to find. The best Elvis guitarist in the industry, a great attitude and no ego? That's Tom Madden.

 

"Your guitar player sounds just like James. He's a younger James Burton." This was told to us by one of James Burtons best friends that was on staff with EAS and the TCB Band in Las Vegas in 2004. That's all you need to know.

 

Tom performs with Fender guitars, Mesa Boogie Amplifiers, about 30 pedals which I think he uses three of.

 

He currently resides in Tinley Park with his wife Linda and their kid....I mean dog....Missy.
