Skeleton Crew

'Skeleton Crew' is the debut album from Kansas City mother and son duo, Madisen Ward and The Mama Bear. Madisen Ward and Mama Bear's songs spin tall tales (and a few biographical truths) about life in the Midwest. They unfold like short stories, with Madisen - who grew up writing fiction - preferring to cut things off before any sort of ending can be reached. Produced by Jim Abbiss, known for his award winning work with Arctic Monkeys and Adele, 'Skeleton Crew' captures Madisen Ward and the Mama Bear in their most natural setting. With help from a handful of session musicians, the two Wards captured the sound they'd been making since those coffeeshop days - a mix of folk, rock and driving roots music that nods to the past while still pushing forward.
