Dan Mahieu - Keyboards and Vocals

Writing songs without music was getting difficult, so at the age of 16 Dan began teaching himself the piano. 5 years later he was playing professionally. With a goal of "making it" in writing and playing, Dan moved to Muscle Shoals, Alabama and then eventually to Nashville, Tennessee where he played with various artists on the road, for record label showcases, in recording studios and clubs. Moving to Wisconsin in 1996, Dan played with Under the Gun and Big Brother Billy before finding a home with the perfect fit, Madison County. Since 2002 he has enjoyed playing with and watching the band evolve into its current form. "It's been a great ride so far, let's keep on-a-rolling!"

Jess Lex - Fiddle

Jess Lex appeared onto the Madison music scene seemingly from nowhere during her Madison County debut in early February 2010. A Minnesota native, Jess is classically trained but has been fiddling since the age of 7. During her teen years, she could be seen on stages throughout the Twin Cities accompanying Irish dancers and playing music with local artists. Multi-talented, she won 1st place in the Minnesota State Fair Fiddle Competition trick fiddling category when she combined her Irish dance and fiddle skills. Jess took a break from the public eye for a few years while earning a degree in violin performance at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. Landing in Madison for an IT job after college, Jess married and again pursued her passion - fiddling. Thanks to Madison County, she is doing what she has always loved.
