Case Studies

Coming Down the Pipeline

Hey friends,

I’ve just finished recording the latest album and I am happy to report it sounds great, I can not wait to send it out there into the world for all of you to hear.  However, there are still things that need to be done before that such as mastering, duplication, blah blah blah but it should be available early next year.

Currently I am working on a few music videos that will be released around the time of the album.  Also, I have begun booking a nationwide tour that will kick off in early Spring.  So sit tight, there are many things coming down the pipeline shortly!

If you live in the New York City area I have two shows scheduled, one tomorrow night (Saturday September 17th) at Pete’s Candy Store and the other next month on October 17th at Rockwood Music Hall.

Well that just about does it, Take it easy folks.

New Album in the Making

Friends! I am happy to share with you that I am in the midst of recording a new album at Vibromonk studios.  For the sessions I am fortunate to have an absolute killer team, featuring Shaul Eshet on Keys, Brian Viglione on Drums, Jordan Scannella on Bass, Adam Brisbin on guitar and Jesse Cannon producing/engineering.  The tunes are coming out great and I cannot wait for you all to hear it soon!  Recording should be wrapping up by the end of the month and you can expect it’s release by early Spring.   I’ll be sure to post updates here as we progress.  XO

Tour Wrap-up, Plans to Come

To all the folks that came out to shows, bought merch, let me crash on their floor or simply listened to my music, I sincerely thank you for making this tour a very special one.  There were lots of new friends made and I feel fortunate to of had the opportunity for such an experience. I’d also like to thank my friend Shaul for joining me for half of the tour, it gets lonely out there on the road and it was great to have such good company for the first leg.

Now that I’m back, it’s time to begin recording the new album.  I am happy to announce Jesse Cannon will be producing this one and we should be completely done sometime in August, so stay tuned!

In other news, I have begun planning a tour for the fall that will take me through the southern states of the U.S.  As the dates begin to come together I will be sure to keep you updated.  If you live down South and would like me to come to your city, hit me up and I’ll do my best to make it happen.  Well That’s it for now, take care friends!

Tour and Album Update

Hey there everybody,

Tour is right around the corner! Here is an awesome flyer that my good friend Stue Grove made….Thanks Stue!   I will be joined by Shaul Eshet from Brooklyn to Chicago, so if you catch any of those shows make sure to throw apples at him.  Like always, I can’t wait to see old friends and meet the new ones that the road has to offer.

On a side note, when I return from tour I will begin recording my next full length, which if all goes as planned should be released sometime in fall.   Stay tuned!

Sincerely,

Adam

Spring Tour Announced,New Album on the Way

It’s official, Shaul and I will be hitting the road again in the Springtime! We will be breaking out some new songs on this tour so catch us if you can.  Check back soon for dates.

Speaking of new tunes, I have completed songs for a new album and will begin the recording process very shortly.  Finishing up and recording new songs is one of my favorite parts of being a musician. It is in this stage that you see your creations come to life.  We are hoping for the new record to hit the streets by Fall, but only time will tell.

I will include the dates and places we will be playing at as soon as the tour is completely booked, which should be in a few weeks.  Until then, take care folks.

Highfives and Handshakes

Well that concludes yet another tour.  Upon returning I am filled with a genuine sense of positivity and optimism.  Not only in music but in people- friends and strangers alike.  I feel blessed to have traveled with my friend Shaul Eshet through this vast country and share the stage with him each night. It was truly an honor to play with one of the greatest musicians I have ever known.  If you caught any of our shows I am sure you would agree.  But music aside, perhaps the greatest gift tour has to offer is the interactions with strangers and the relationships you build with people you would normally not have met.  To all the friends from the road, new and old, it’s been really spectacular spending time with you. I can’t tell you how much the early morning talks over coffee, the late night laughs on your living room floor; the ‘on the house shots’; and all the high fives and handshakes have meant to me.  Thanks you! You can catch us at Pianos in NYC this Sunday 11/22 at 11pm. See you folks soon!

Watch ‘Hardwired’ Video Here

Hey Folks,
It my pleasure to share with you the release of the video for my song ‘Hardwired’. Many talented, wonderful people took part in it’s creation, and I invite you to watch it here. The video was shot this past summer by Adam Cohen in upstate New York where a bunch of good friends came together for the day and did a hell of a job acting out David Silverstein’s script. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

 

Camera and Direction- Adam Ben Cohen, Script- David Silverstein, Editing- Joaquin Portocarero, Lights- Nadav Ginosar

What’s Happenin’?

Hey Friends,

So I know it’s been a while since I’ve last updated here and I’m sorry for that. But I assure you it’s only because I’ve been hard at work writing, booking, and exercising regularly. There’s lots to tell you about, so let me begin. I am proud to announce that I’ll once again be joining up with Adam Cohen to create a music video for the song Hardwired. The video should be completed by the end of August and will hopefully be released sometime soon after.

I’ve also begun booking an East Coast tour for the fall. I’ll be playing this tour as part of a two piece – joined by my good friend and very talented musician Shaul Eshet. If you caught the Document Untold Spring tour ,then you saw Shaul ripping it up behind the organ. Live on the East Coast and want us to play your city? Hit me up and if there’s a venue to host us we will do our best to make it happen.

I am very grateful for the support that Document Untold has been getting over the past month. Music stations such as WGWG and WETS have been spinning the album and a number of folks have added songs on their Spotify playlists. Most notably is music curator Songpickr out of Berlin who included Hardwired on his Spotify playlist of Best Songs of 2015. He has some great music featured on his list and I urge you to check it out HERE. Also, Gobsmag out of Amsterdam recently released a kind write-up on the album which you can check out HERE.

Well I think that just about does it. Shout out to Sean Levelle of the Local 45 Carpenters Union for sending in the photo. Always protect your head Sean. Check back soon for tour dates and video release. Take care folks.

Adam
