This is Adam's solo project. It was a good opener for
Elysian Fields.
I got there at around 7:45ish and Adam was playing the piano and
singing. They had a round stage set up in the middle of the room. I
heard about this setup but hadn't experienced it until now. I was happy
everything was set up so I could walk around the room and survey where I
wanted to sit. I found a prime spot up front which would be facing the
front of the stage when Elysian Fields came on. I had a side view of
Adam and could see what he was doing. I enjoyed it. Singer songwriter
isn't often my thing, but Adam keeps it interesting. He had a lot of
equipment with him - electronics for sampling, a keyboard, a drum
machine, that fancy box contraption I see him with in Fatther Figures
and my fav, his sax. I'm always impressed at what a good manager he
is. He actually got the crowd to sing backup for 2 different songs.
One didn't have lyrics, just a musical phrase. He passed out lyrics
cards for the other one. The lyrics were "always". How can you not
sing when someone goes through the trouble? It was a fun set that ended
at around 8:30.
