Hey Folks,

Before I get into music related stuff, I just want to begin with a quick note.  As we approach the new year there are many changes that are likely to occur.  Whether we agree with these changes or not, we must all recognize what is and what is not in our control.  While we cannot have a voice in who will lead this country, we can have say in the humanity we show towards one another everyday.  Take your buddies out for a beer, help the elderly lady across the street shovel her walkway (even though she nags you about your music being too loud), reach out to old friends that you’ve lost touch with, converse with complete strangers just because, and most of all be the force that strengthens community in your environment.  If there’s one thing I’m certain of, it’s that we can all use the support.

Alright, lets get into some news! First off I got some shows coming up in NYC, so if you find yourself in the area on the following dates, I hope you will join:

12.5 Brooklyn, NY @ Sunnyvale

12/16 @ Brooklyn, NY @ Pete’s Candy Store

1/12 Harlem, NY @ Shrine

2/28 New York, New York @ Rockwood Music Hall

In other news, the upcoming album,  A Hollow Triumph Afterall, is due to release in late April.  Following the release I will be heading out on a 6-week U.S tour that I am in the process of booking now.  For the first 3 weeks of tour I will be joined by my band and for the remainder I will be playing solo. For a string of the Northeast dates we will be touring with Scarlet Sails, an awesome New York City band that we are dying to share the stage with.  Since we are in the midst of booking, hit me up if you think we should pass through your city and we will see what we can do!

Be good to each other!

Cheers,
Adam

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.

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

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!

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

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.

Adam

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!

Adam

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

Hey Folks,
Fall tour is just around the corner and I can’t tell you how excited I am. I’ll be joined by my good friend Shaul Eshet who will be playing keys and percussion, and may I add that he will be doing both at the same time. See, we rigged a tom drum to his right foot and a high hat with a tamborine to his….and each foot is…. well it’s kind of hard to explain, you will just have to come see it for yourself. We have been practicing our asses off and it’s sounding pretty damn good. The tour dates and details are listed below. If we are coming to your town we better see you there! Oh and I almost forgot, the Hardwired music video is due to be released very shortly, so keep an eye out. Peace!
