Acoustic/Rock/Pop
It’s hard to believe that just four years ago, Adam Ezra stepped onto the stage to perform his first solo concert, in Chicago, IL. Today, whether you take a look at his extensive touring history, check out his music on MTV and VH1, or come to a live show with the group, you will undoubtedly understand what a wild ride it’s been.
A native of Boston, Adam (26) considers himself an experientialist as much as musician or songwriter. Whether it’s living out of a van, farming in Canada, relief work in Kosovo, student in South Africa, kitchen hand or carpenter, teacher or traveler, Adam manages to cram it all into the music, always challenging our perspective and often teetering somewhere between the ballsy rocker and sensitive poet.
For the next ten months AEG will continue to spread their sound throughout the east coast as part of Budweiser’s True Music concert series. Backed by Honey-John Appa, “one of the best and most versatile drummers in Boston,” - North East Performer, Jimmy Saulnier, the band’s bad-boy rockin bassist, Jeff “the turtle” Goulart on percussion, Abbie Barrett on vocals, and an array of special guests playing roots instruments ranging from violin to harmonica, mandolin to flute, Adam has successfully transformed his lyrically-based folk music into an acoustic-rock agenda that’s packing the clubs and keeping their avid fan base constantly on their toes.
Although their quickly-spreading, grassroots popularity clearly derives from their live performances, the band continues to prioritize the recording of works from Adam’s prolific songwriting reservoirs. Their next album is set to come out in March 2004.
