Vicki Maldonado is a Michigan-based singer-songwriter-producer whose life struggles have inspired her to reach ever-higher heights. Her music pulls from radio darlings like Mariah Carey and Celine Dion, but also the classic rock and Latin music of her youth. Born and raised in Manhattan, NY, Vicki started at just 9 years old as a way to express herself and deal with childhood trauma. Maldonado quickly realized music was her passion. By the time she was 14, she got her own computer which kick-started an obsession with recording and producing her own music. 

 

After graduating from Five Towns College with a degree in audio engineering she interned at the legendary Platinum Sound Recording Studio. Life hit hard and though Vicki kept creating music, she often lacked the resources to get it out there properly. During the pandemic, she recommitted herself to music and started releasing a slew of singles, some of her best work yet! Heads were turning and all the right things seem to suddenly be happening for Vicki Maldonado and her dream of sharing her music with the world. Recently she’s seen a who spate of successes from radio play and interviews (Parlor City Radio), to winning third place in the Hit Like A Girl Beatmaking Contest and becoming a finalist for the LG's Life's Good Contest

 

Now, Maldonado is in the process of self-releasing a single every month. She’s self-producing most tracks, like her debut “Dreamin’ Tonight” and newest single "Evade" and has collaborated with producers on others, "Just Friends", "Self-Fulfilling Prophecy". It’s an exciting time for her as she pushes her work to the next level and to new audiences. Her story is one of resilience and seeking to find beauty even when it seems impossible. Will you join her journey as she seeks to find healing in a world that so often drags us down?

Greg Foster Gladman is a staple in the Colorado music scene, and a self professed music historian. As a young teenager he began playing guitar at a time when classic rock hadn’t become ‘classic’ yet and the 1980s were just getting started. Though he has played and recorded throughout the Midwest in a variety of cover and original bands ranging in styles from metal, rock, and country to R&B, Soul and Jazz, he never loses sight of the roots from which it all stems, the Blues.

He started out in bands like Threshold (old school Ft. Collins metal), Nasty's Nightmare (with KBPI's then prime time DJ, Uncle Nasty), and Millionaire Freaks (an original funky rock group).
But his desire for a deeper understanding of the music led him to the blues scene.
Bands like Network! (possibly Denver's hardest working old school R&B cover band), Mojambus (a premier front range roots act), and Eugene Carthen's Power Band (hosting the longest running open stage in Denver) had him playing the blues several nights a week for over 10 years.

Working with local artists like Sheryl Renee, The Broken Everlys, and Kelly J, has helped him to better understand the elements of what makes a song great. And that continues to be his motivation, to play a great song.

National artists that Greg has worked with or been an opening act for include Mr. Big, Savatage, Styx, Steve Morse Band, Joe Bonner, Chris Duarte, Jason Ricci, John Lee Hooker Jr., and Hamilton Loomis.

Bands he is currently working with include 2 Dog Tuesday and Buckner Funkin’ Jazz.
He is very exited about being the newest member of the Voodoo Kings.
