His writing style displays a wide variety of musical influences enhanced by over twenty years
of performance time developing an entertaining attitude.
Amadon hails from Athol, Massachusetts, a small river town in the stony hills of the north-central area
of the state, near the Vermont-New Hampshire border. Throughout the 70s,
the entertainment scene in New England sparked Garold's strong desire to travel
and bring his music to college towns and resort areas. Before leaving the area he
averaged 150 club dates a year and accumulated 60 performances in musical theater
in several lead roles with two community theater groups.
Garold performed throughout the 80s in the Southwest Michigan area as a full time night
spot entertainer as well as an independent contract performer. Averaging 240 performance dates
a year and arranging an ever growing repertoire of over 1000 popular contemporary songs,
he used his stage time to intertwine more original material into his performances.
