Biography

Jody Adams is a singer/songwriter instrumentalist who has been fortunate enough to enjoy the wonderful experiences of a childhood surrounded by music. He's often heard commenting that he had no idea the roots of his musical-raisin' would still be in such demand today. That is truly a blessing to share.

Jody is a multi-instrumentalist & repeat winner of songwriting contests throughout America. Adams has toured and worked with several acoustic and Americana groups within the last two decades. Most notably he has shared the stage with Alabama, Wade Hayes, The Osborne Brothers, Mac Wiseman, Dennis Agajanian, Chubby Wise, Doyle Lawson, Lee Greewood, James Monroe, Reba McEntire, Vince Gill, Carl Story, and Ricky Skaggs. He has released seven acoustic/folk CDs. His solo CDs include: Songs of a Shoemaker's Son, Crib Jam, Red Dirt Serenade, Tones of Yore, Gitano Road, What You Leave Behind and 440:Songs of Comfort.

Folks often will comment that his songs remind them of something in their life they had almost forgot about or hadn't thought of in a long time - like his original tunes capture a picture in time that all can relate to. As he likes to say from the stage, "that's like me winning a hillbilly Grammy and I cherish everyone of those validations."
