Age of Madness was co-created by actor/singer Jeremy Jordan and prolific guitarist, Mikael. Featuring Sarah Charness on the violin, the band fuses nuance, grit, and imaginative storytelling throughout the heart of their music. Built around raw, militaristic guitar riffs, sweeping violin, and the meticulously crafted precision of Jeremy’s dynamic vocals and lyrics, AoM have assembled a soundscape that is unabashedly theirs.

Jerry Williams, Jr. (born July 12, 1942), generally credited under the pseudonym Swamp Dogg after 1970, is an American soul and R&B singer, musician, songwriter and record producer described as “one of the great cult figures of 20th century American music.” After recording as Little Jerry and Little Jerry Williams in the 1950s and 1960s, he reinvented himself as Swamp Dogg, releasing a series of satirical, offbeat, and eccentric recordings, as well as continuing to write and produce for other musicians. He debuted his new sound on the Total Destruction To Your Mind album in 1970. In the 1980s, he helped to develop Alonzo Williams’ World Class Wreckin’ CRU, which produced Dr. Dre among others. He continues to make music, releasing Love, Loss & Autotune on Joyful Noise Recordings in 2018.
