Set in 1960 New York, the Golden Globe Award-winning TV series Mad Men is a provocative drama about the lives of the ruthlessly competitive men and women of Madison Avenue advertising. Created, executive produced and written by Matthew Weiner — the Emmy Award-winning executive producer and writer of The Sopranos — Mad Men takes an unflinching look at the ad-men who shaped the hopes and dreams of Americans on a daily basis. The soundtrack mirrors not only the time and place, but sets an emotional tone for the critically-acclaimed series.
The most talked about show of the 2007-2008 television season arrives on DVD and Blu-ray Disc on July 1 (Lionsgate). The highly-anticipated premiere of Season Two of Mad Men returns to AMC this summer.
According to Matthew Weiner, “Music on Mad Men is never an accident. The philosophy of the sound was pointed: do as much to enhance the feeling of the period while offering an artistic commentary to the themes of each show.” Alexandra Patsavas, Grammy nominated music supervisor and founder and owner of Chop Shop Music Supervision, serves as music supervisor for the soundtrack, which joins her impressive credits, including Grey’s Anatomy, The OC, Rescue Me, Gossip Girl, Without A Trace, among others. There is no question that music helped define that decade and music plays an important role in the series.
Mad Men: Music from the Series, Vol 1, includes musical standards such as “On The Street Where You Live” by Vic Damone, “Fly Me To The Moon” by Julie London, “Volare” by The McGuire Sisters, and “Manhattan” by Ella Fitzgerald, among many other known and loved favorites; the show’s theme song, “A Beautiful Mine” by Aceyalone & RJD2, as well as original music by the show’s composer, David Carbonara.

Big choruses and jumping rhythms aren’t always what you expect when you hear someone described as an LA singer-songwriter. But that’s what you’ll get on Curtis Peoples’ self-titled album, out from The Control Group/Galt Line Music on August 19th. It’s got thoughtful lyrics AND power guitars. Music Connection calls it “pure pop with a classic-rock vibe.” You might call it “coffeeshop arena rock”, and Curtis may well be its only practitioner.
Listen to its ten songs and you’ll be reminded of the inspiring sounds of U2 and Bon Jovi as well as the acoustic pop of John Mayer and Jason Mraz. But Peoples, as viewers learned on MTV’s on-air songwriting competition SCORE, has his own unique musical fingerprint. “All my favorite artists can go from acoustic to rock and back again from song to song and album to album,” he says. “I want to be like that - it leaves a lot of room for excitement and surprise.”
Peoples, a curly-haired San Diego native with a ready smile and a down-to-earth attitude, moved to LA just three years ago, and within months was on a national tour with Tyler Hilton, the singer-songwriter also known for his acting roles on ‘One Tree Hill’ and in ‘Walk the Line’. Dates with Josh Kelley, Hanson, Stephen Kellogg & The Sixers, Tim Reynolds, Joe Firstman and others soon followed.
Some of Young Hollywood’s most musical talents, including Jesse McCartney and Ryan Cabrera, have been spotted at Curtis’s Los Angeles shows, and Music Connection praised his “strong and deeply resonant voice” and named him one
of their “100 Unsigned Artists To Watch in 2008.”
It didn’t take long for the buzz to reach producer Marshall Altman (Matt Nathanson, Kate Voegele, Marc Broussard). The resulting album of well-crafted songs ranges from the hard-rocking swagger of “Heart Will Fall” (co-written by OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder) and Tom Petty-esque “Back Where I Started ” to the acoustic, contemplative “Wake Up” and the funky power pop of “Tell Me I’m Wrong,” co-written with Tyler Hilton.
Curtis Peoples will be bringing his crowd-pleasing live show to audiences across the country this summer and fall. See dates below.
