I don’t care what anybody says, full albums are still important to me and I know they still are to many of you out there. I am extremely grateful for those of you who have shown support for the album so far, thank you from the bottom of my heart. So much hard work went into making this what it is and I’m extremely proud of the end result. I consider myself very fortunate to be surrounded by so many talented friends who contributed in making “Unborn Ghosts” come to life. If you have the time I’d love for you to listen and don’t forget to turn it up loud!
My newest single “Haunts Me Now” just dropped yesterday over at Big Takeover Magazine calling it “a spectral, punk-tinged folk ballad that grapples with the idea that you can’t run from the past—that you must confront your demons.” Check out the feature at the link below!
Thank you to everyone who purchased a ticked and watched our livestream show last night from the Bowery electric in New York City! It felt incredible to crank up the amps and rock with my friends on stage. If you missed it, no worries. The livestream will be available at the link below for the rest of the week and you can purchase tickets there as well!

On Monday, August 10th we will be doing a very special livestream record release show for our upcoming album “Unborn Ghosts” from The Bowery Electric in New York City and we’ll be sharing the night with our pals Don DiLego and the Touristas. Obviously we would love to be embarking on a tour to celebrate the release of this album with you, in person….like it should be. But that’s just not possible right now. Please get your tickets in advance HERE and help us celebrate this release the best we can.
The Bowery Electric has been a home to many of us here in the New York City music community and they have put together a professional team of folks to broadcast these livestream events. Jesse Malin has been doing livestreams from there regularly and if you have seen them, then you know this will be a top quality event.
If you’re not able to tune in on Monday night, your ticket purchase is still good for ONE WEEK to view the livestream anytime. We hope you can join us and come support live music and help save our live venues!
Sincerely,
Adam

PopMatters asked for some insight into the tune for the recent premiere and here’s some of what I had to say-
“‘Madame Marie’ deals with the imagination and the wonder of youth – that time in our lives when we have complete faith in possibility and the unwritten future. There are a lot of references in the song to my heroes, from authors to old blues musicians. People who I’ve always looked at with deep admiration and whose lives have been mythologized. Their spirits live in our imaginations and inspire us in profound ways.
“The song also deals with the struggle to maintain that youthful spirit as we grow older. As we age, it’s like we’re supposed to leave it behind, and if we don’t, we’re bound to get left in the dust. Music has allowed me to hold onto that feeling of childhood wonder, which is sacred, and I’m thankful because if I ever lost it, I’d be a very different person.”
PopMatters just premiered the latest single “Madame Marie” from my upcoming album ‘Unborn Ghosts’ calling the tune “a gorgeous ballad that looks back on the innocence of childhood”. Check out the article and listen to the track below!

With the current state of the world and all the hardships people are facing right now, it’s been difficult to decide if releasing an album is the right thing to do. After much thought, I’ve decided that the show must go on. My lot in this life is to write songs and I take that duty very seriously. When times are tough people rely on music more than ever to get them through. For all of you barely hanging on, struggling everyday to stay positive and mustering up the strength to believe in a future, this album is for you.
I am thrilled to announce that the next full length ‘UNBORN GHOSTS’ will come out August 21, 2020 on SoundEvolution Music. I think it is by far my best work to date and I’m very excited to share it with you all soon. We have begun pre-orders for vinyl and if you would like to jump on board you can do so HERE.
Thank you for all the love and support. It means the world.
Your pal,
Adam
