Formerly of Madison Rising fame (2011-2020), is a band that has few limitations. In supporting the veteran and patriot community their brand of music touches a nerve that runs deep across the country.   With a fan base that is built of some of the most loyal fans in the country, M2R feels that they are able to stretch boundaries, as noted by their latest releases EP.I.DEMIC and their country Ep  Boots and Roots.  With 5 studio albums under their belt (4 under their former name) M2R is poised to continue the journey and once again share stages and tour with greats such as Godsmack, Shinedown, Gemini Syndrome, Ted Nuggent, and many more.  

Why the name change?  Mid-summer 2020 the Madison Rising family lost the man that had the vision, Rich Mgrdechian, and after much consideration, we felt that continuing under the MR logo just wouldn't be the same.  It was his baby, his creation, and without him with us, it just couldn't be the same.  However, the show must go on and, after long discussions, and listening to the voice of our fans, Rio, Ted, Adam, Tracy, and the rest of the camp, decided to re-brand and continue the legacy that Rich had built.  

"Much love Rich, We got it from here"

Prior to Madison Rising, Rio worked with platinum producer and Grammy award winner Andrew Lane and hick-hop artist Forsaken. He attributes his intense energy, southern bluesy vocal mix, and touch of hardline grit to his influences Chester Bennington, Chris Cornell, Sully Erna, and LJ Witherspoon. Now as the future has unfolded itself, with the loss of Madison Rising creator Rich Mgrdechian, he and the rest of the guys will continue on as the, MR re-branded, ass kickers Made 2 Rise.

Rio spent a career serving in the United States Air Force as a Munitions troop, more so recognized as AMMO Dawgs.  An OIF/OEF veteran, the Master Sergeant (Retired) spent several deployments to "the sand-box" . I.Y.A.A.Y.A.S.

Tracy started music at a young age playing drums at the age of 5 and guitar at the age of 8. He taught marching percussion for several high schools before moving to live performance. His musical ventures had him playing in several bands over the years either on drums or playing guitar. Tracy played drums for recording artist Darcie Miner before starting his own writing venture on guitar, Sakred Realm, which gained local attention and had airplay on several local radio stations. He also had the opportunity to share the stage with some great national acts such as Drowning Pool, Wasp, Brett Michaels, Vince Neil, and Cinderella. Tracy welcomed the opportunity to do some writing with M2R and will be holding down the guitar duties on stage with them. After a long hiatus from playing live, he is more than ready to start melting faces again and can’t wait to meet all of the M2R fans!!
