Award Winning Recording Artist, Performing Songwriter, Producer, Publisher

Performing original songs and covers by Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, The Band, Otis Redding, Emmylou Harris, Lucas Nelson, Doc Watson, Kacey Musgraves, Wood Brothers, Fats Domino, John Prine, Wilco, Chris Stapleton, Gillian Welch and many more!

Singing songs with just an acoustic guitar or turning up the volume with his hard-hitting, jam-friendly rock’n’roll band, the passion Adam Brooks has for gritty blues-infused music is always on display. Merging genres from folk to pop with heartfelt lyrics and contagious grooves, this award winning independent recording artist, performing songwriter, and guitarist has been electrifying listeners from the stage and studio for over 25 years.

After cutting his teeth on stages throughout his home state of Ohio in the 90’s and early 2000’s Adam followed his muse south, spending a number of years based out of Nashville, TN working on his songwriting and performing chops touring throughout the country and abroad. He moved to CNY in 2015 where he currently teaches Folk Guitar at Hamilton College and performs weekly as a solo artist and with his band. Fresh off winning a Syracuse Area Music Award (Sammy) for Best Jam Band Recording for his double album Ain’t All About You, Adam Brooks and his ensemble are performing at select venues and events throughout 2023 promoting the new release.
