At the ripe old age of 6, Adam
decided he wanted to play the fiddle. He began
taking lessons from Scott Gould at the School of
Music in Kingsport, TN. His dad, being a bluegrass
musician himself, then started letting Adam play a
few songs on stage with his band and from there he
took off. Adam, born and raised in Abingdon and
Bristol Virginia, had a pretty normal childhood
until the day his dad brought home an old fiddle to
be repaired. He showed an instant interest in the
old instrument. Since then Adam has appeared
on WCYB's Family Focus, CMT, BCMA's Pickin Porch,
and the Carter Family Fold, not to mention many
other bluegrass featured radio broadcasts. Adam has
been honored to be a featured performer in Nashville
along side accomplished artists such as The Little
River Band, Kim Karnes and Penny Gilley. Now
at 10 years old he plays old time and bluegrass
fiddle music as someone decades his senior. He
is influenced most by Bobby Hicks and of course
Hunter Berry of Rhonda Vincent and the Rage, but
being 10 he still loves to play basketball,
baseball, playstation and has become somewhat of a
WW2 historian. Adam is a 5th grader and resides in
East Tennessee with his Mom, Dad and little sister,
Sarah Grace.
