Adam
Olmstead is a singer/songrwriter with great stories to tell, a fine, memorable voice, and a unique talent for making glorious acoustic music you wish could go on forever. His debut album, A.G.Olmstead, is but a small reflection of the music at the heart and soul of the man.
Impressed with Adam’s songwriting skill, veteran producer
Alan O’Bryant also recognized the power in Adam’s vocal
performance and enlisted the talent of members of the Grammy-award
winning Nashville Bluegrass Band to create an album worthy of Adam's
talent. The result is sublime and fully satisfying.
A.G.Olmstead captures the essence of the vintage song. Part poet,
part country boy, Adam’s writing and vocal styles are reminiscent
of old Jimmie Rodgers and Hank Williams records full of memorable
tunes that range from flirty and frolicking ditties to heartfelt
crooners. Nestled in the sweet spot between Bluegrass, Old Time
and traditional Country Music, this album is extremely appealing
from every angle.
Adam crafts tunes from personal experience. He left his home in
Eastern Canada as a teen, exploring the cities and back
roads of
North America, his old Kay jumbo bouncing in his arms as he played
his way from one town to another, tune upon tune. Now 31, he has
become an unassuming, charming man, easy to like, sure to recall
your name. He can pick until sun up, never drop a lyric or repeat
a song and is the last man standing at your party. He’s an
awesome performer who moves everyone who has the good fortune to
hear him play.
Adam Olmstead’s new album will scratch your Old Time underbelly
where it itches most. Take it for a spin and get ready to smile
for a while...
