In 2019, the band had also been the recipient of the Jose Music Award (JMA) for patriots of the year, due to the bands work and performances within in the US military and first responder organizations/community around the US. The band also had written a song for and at the request of the Navy Seal Foundation titled “Men of Steel” which has seen national notoriety and radio play.

For Made 2 Rise, Ted states “we have taken a hard hitting rock and roll path, a little different from the MR days of old, but with this, many things are in the works to even further our musical journey and continue to rock the nation as we have committed ourselves to do”. With the musicianship and drive within Ted and the rest of his bandmates in Made 2 Rise, these guys see the sky as the limit for the future.
