Jim Adam has a true passion for singing the blues. The music takes you on a journey you can experience over and over. He ain't you and pretty, he's a long way from thin, but he can really sing the blues.
Jim grew up in a small town in southeast Kansas, and while everyone else his age was listening to the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, Jim was listening to Lightnin' Hopkins, Jimmy Reed and Son House. He started playing blues clubs at the advanced age of 13, and these legendary blues figures, along with artists like Sam and Dave and Wilson Pickett, became great influences on both his vocal and guitar style. His family attended a small Baptist church, and Jim had the opportunity to merge these blues influences with gospel music, which draws strongly from the blues tradition. He led and performed gospel music and sang, along with his four brothers, in churches throughout the surrounding area. Jim took a four year break from music while he served in the United States Marine Corps, but says "he still had the blues." After his military service, Jim and his family relocated to Southern California. There he picked up his guitar again and made his living as a musician, performing the blues throughout L.A. and Orange County. He also was in demand as a studio vocalist. As a songwriter Jim has several film credits and a couple of songs cut by Edgar Winter. His credits include the film, "The Waterdance", which starred Wesley Snipes, Eric Stoltz and Helen Hunt, in which both his song and performance were used. Jim eventually moved with his family to Colorado Springs where he continues to perform and where he also runs Jimbo's Take 2, an outstanding blues and acoustic music club that has hosted such notables as John Hammond Jr., Chris Thomas King, Bob Margolin, Otis Taylor, and Eden Brent along with outstanding local and regional acts. The Jim Adam Blues Band packs the house every time they play, and "Big Jim" Adam is a prominent figure on the regional blues scene. Jim's album, "Rock Island Line", a collection of traditional and original blues material, has charted on the Living Blues radio chart and the Roots Music Report and has been enthusiastically received by audiences. Just released, "Live at Jimbo's Take 2", is a high energy, live recording of the Jim Adam Blues Band. This is a group of gifted blues players that enjoy a special chemistry, they have a great time performing together and this is picked up immediately by the audience. Recorded at Jimbo's Take 2, Colorado Springs' "best blues venue", on two warm summer nights, some real blues magic was bottled, it's "down home funky style". Jim has opened for blues legend John Hammond Jr., Ruthie Foster, folk icon John Stewart, Chris Thomas King, Michael Johnson (“Bluer than Blue”), Jake Armerding, Cajun rocker Zachary Richard, amongst others. He is quickly being discovered by a national audience, and is looking forward to touring and meeting a larger audience in the year ahead.
