Brandon Lee Adams has already crafted his own style of songwriting, guitar playing, and singing. He grew up listening to Hank Williams Sr., Roy Acuff, Bill Monroe, and Tony Rice, as well as the rock, country, and even hip-hop of the time. Developed from a lifetime of diverse musical influences, Brandon’s music fits equally into singer-songwriter, bluegrass, Americana, and folk. He is equally at home fronting a full band at a festival or playing solo for house concerts and small clubs.
He started to play the guitar at the age of eight when his grandfather Robert Adams put his old Martin D-28 in his grandson’s hands saying, “Learn G,C and D. You’re playing in church this weekend.” After learning the chords and putting many grueling hours into his practice, he got his hungry hands on Tony Rice’s Church Street Blues album. His musical career began while trying to learn Tony Rice’s works. To this day, Tony has a profound influence on the direction of his musical journey. To Brandon, it was not just playing the guitar, it was the song, the words, the vocal.
At the age of seventeen, Brandon began to showcase his talents after winning a local talent contest which catapulted a milestone allowing him to perform at the Ryman Auditorium. Brandon knew this was where he wanted to be. After high school, military service, and some time in college, his love for the guitar and his music won him yet another local contest. His talent with a variety of genres only added to his appeal. Brandon’s unique sound started to find an appreciative audience while working and travelling playing as far as Ireland and Canada. As his musical ambition began to grow during a period playing in bluegrass bands, he got to meet and share the stage with such heroes as JD Crowe and Scott Vestal.
Songwriting from the heart and masterful playing.
When I first heard Brandon Adam’s music, it knocked me out! Clean, solid and honest! As a musician, I am in awe of Brandon’s talent. As a show promoter, I look forward to getting Brandon up to Minnesota to do a show! Top shelf music, staying power and timeless!
At the top of the list for singer/songwriters. Brandon Lee Adams is a helluva guitar player too.
When I listened to the song we recorded… it was one of the few times I missed my voice.
