Adam James

Hey cats ‘n’ kittens!

Just wanted to send you a quick reminder about the Eddie’s Attic show tomorrow night. Doors open at 6:30, I go on around 7-7:15, then after me is the silky voice and great tunes of Janie Chu, followed by Lindsay Rakers.

WHEN: TOMORROW! Jan. 17th, 2007, 7pm
WHERE: Eddie’s Attic, 515 McDonough St. Decatur
INFO: 18+ $7

Hope to see you there! Adam

Hello? Is there anybody in there? Don’t tell me you forgot your old friend Adam James!

I’ve been kinda out of the loop for a bit, I’ll cop to that. Vacation has a way of taking me over and making me something of a lazy sod. But I’m back! No more laziness for me! After all there are shows to be played and friends to be made!

***This Just In***UNfortunately, due to our fair city of Atlanta’s interference, The 585 Club has been shut down, hopefully not permanently. But they have had no recourse but to cancel all existing gigs there for the time being, which means that my show there on Jan 12th, is no more. ***

Well kids, that’s all for now. I’ll be back soon with some more, I promise! I hope you’re all doing well, I’ve missed you! Peace ‘n’ be wild! Adam

I’m coming to you live from a coffeeshop next to the PIedmont River. If you don’t know what the Piedmont river is, it’s Piedmont Avenue when it rains. Rain splashing the window next to me, it’s perfect day to be inside with a warm cup of tea or coffee.

I just wanted to to say hey and give you a bit of an update. I’ve been practicing hard trying to get my live set “tight as a tick’s ass” as a friend of mine says. It’ll be like what I’ve been doing but times 10! I can’t wait to get out and play and show you guys what I’ve been doing.

And the record. Pretty close to being done! We just have to master it and get it all printed up and it’ll be ready to be sold! I’m excited because I’m tired of telling people “I’m working on a record,” I want to be able to say, “I FINISHED a record!” I’ve got some cool ideas for a potential CD release party that I’ll let you know about if/when they happen.

Hey kids!

Sorry it’s been so long since I’ve written, it’s been busy! The Atlantis Music Conference was this past week and it was a great time even though I wasn’t playing. But rest assured, next year will be the year of Adam James! The record is coming along well, I’m just waiting for mixes on the most recently recorded material, and I’m even thinking about expanding it one more track possibly. It’s just a thought, but who knows, it may happen!

G’day mates!

A little pirate lingo for you there! Just wanted to send a quick update to let you know that the recording process is going really well! We’ve got “We Could Be So Happy” just about done, only waiting on some piano, “You Are My Star” looking pretty as we’ve got most of that one done as well, and “Shine” coming up around the bend only needing some guitars, piano, and vocals.

Don’t forget, I’ll be playing September 17th at Park Tavern around 6:30pm. This is where the correction comes in. ‘member how I said Gomez would be playing this show? Well, uh, I, uh, kinda lied about that. I was TOLD they would be playing, but apparently are not. So as of now, you’ve got me, Regina Spektor, and a mystery artist playing on the
17th. And surprises are always fun, right? :D

Okay, well, maybe that’s not quite right. But I DO want to thank each and every one of you who came out to the Park Tavern Sunday night! I think that was some of the most fun I’ve had at a gig in recent memory and thank you guys for making it possible! :^D I’d also like to personally thank Matt Jones, Bobby Carroll, and Pilar Nerenberg for their help with this gig, you guys rule my world!

-Well it’s official! The recording part of my upcoming EP “jazzrocksoul” is DONE!!! All that needs to be done is mixing, mastering, getting the art together, and printing this beast up! My tentative plan is to hold onto it until the new year, in the meantime, I’ll be revamping my live show at various open mics around the area. I dont’ know if I’ll be booking many “official” gigs as of right now, but I may come out of the woodshed here and there to play some. I’ll have a couple new videos up at www.adamjames.net and I’ll be working on a few projects back at the house that I’ll probably put samples of up on Myspace.

Greetings and salutations!

I’m currently back in my hometown in Western NY enjoying a little R&R as well as some of the local cuisine! ;) Yeah yeah, those of you from here can laugh, but it’s hard to get good pizza outside of the Buffalo area! And I dont’ want to hear anything about that thin-as-paper “New York Style” crap! It ain’t the same! But i Digress…..

OTHER STUFF THAT WILL ROCK YOUR EFFIN’ FACE!!!!
——————————————————————————-
-I will be embarking in my brand new Funk Wagon (and for those of you who know me well, this will mean that you won’t have to pick me up anymore when we hang out! I bet I start getting more social calls after this ;^P ) for Albany, New York where I’ll start recording final versions of “We Could Be So Happy,” “You Are My Star,” and if time permits, “Shine.” I’ll try to keep you updated as the process goes on, but let it be known, the ep’s recording process will be soon drawing to a close (Thank GOD!)

Well, you can probably surmise from my lack of communique in the last couple days that I didn’t win Open Mic Madness this year, Lol! I was actually eliminated Thursday night after having some equipment problems and a somewhat tense performance as the result of said problems. But there’s always next year! Congratulations to this year’s winners Dead Confederate. You can check them out at www.myspace.com/deadconfederate

BUT! It’s time to move on to something even bigger! As some of you know, I’ve got a show booked at Park Tavern for the 99X Unplugged In The Park opening for Regina Spektor and Gomez! Howzabout that!
