A one-time theater student at the University of Nebraska, John Madden transferred to the University of Colorado and graduated with a B.A. in psychology and became a law student. Then music beckoned in the guise of a group put together by Bryan Sennett, ultimately called the Serendipity Singers, who needed Madden's talents as a multi-instrumentalist. Particularly with his skills on the 12-string guitar, Madden was the virtuoso backbone of the group during their two-year heyday at the top of the folk revival scene. Along with Sennett, Madden was also one of the two principal songwriters in the group. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi
