Synopsis: Trouble Made is a pop-rock, singer-songwriter band, based in the Boston Metro West Area. The band is comprised of Frontman: Sam Bruckner, Keyboardist: Ilan Mael, and Drummer Jordan Posnik.

Origins: Sam Bruckner and Ilan Mael performed together at a couple of events using the stage-name Livewire. (a tribute to having originally met in a performance group under the name Trip-Wire) The first of which was on November 25th, 2022. During their 2nd show together at Hearth Pizzeria, a local pizza joint, Sam introduced Ilan to a session musician he had worked with through the non-profit Plugged In. Just 10 days later they played their first set at Ward 4's, a local bars' Open Mic Night. It was not long before the band established a local following of loyal show-goers.

Major Events: Back in March 2022. lead singer and guitarist Sam Bruckner self-organized The Breakup Bash. (TBB) TBB was a charity event raising money for Plugged In's scholorship fund. The event consisted of bands: Weird Autumn, Pretty Rotten, Daisy (The Band), 13 Seconds, and of course Trouble Made themselves. Also present was public speaker, and the non-profit organization's program director, Dan Croft, co-founders Sandra Rizkallah and Thomas Pugh, as well as representitives from the local news. Many tickets were purchased in advance but were also avaliable at the door. Refreshments and merchandise were also available for purchase, with 100% of the top-line going directly towards the fundraising effort. The event was a huge success, having more than tripled their projected profits having raised $923 in a single night.

The tour was originally a only 5 shows spanning from late-April to mid-June, but upon revealing the at the time 'micro-tour' people began reaching out with new performance opportunities leading to them doubling the number of shows within the sequence.
