Welcome To Adam Ezra Group❖ He takes a month out of each year to visit the living rooms of his fans around thecountry❖ His band and nonprofit organization RallySound host a free festival everysummer that raised $143,000 for homeless veterans in 2023❖ He live-streamed for 500 nights in a row during the pandemic❖ They co-produced an album with 163 fansIf you havent connected with Adam Ezra Group yet, these are just a few examples tohelp you understand how this underground, Americana songwriter and his bandmatesseem to have popped out of nowhere, establishing a connection with their fans unlikeany other, and are suddenly selling out theaters throughout the Northeast.Adam Ezra will joke with you that while the nowhere part might be accurate, nothinghas ever just popped for this folk musician, activist. Without resources, connections,or any kind of clue how the music world works, Ezra began playing shows over 20 yearsago. When music venues wouldnt hire him, he played bars, bookstores, fields, andparking lots, often raising money for causes he cared about; a practice that grew into hisnonprofit organization RallySound.Wed play 5 hours a night, Adam reminisces, more often than not, in danger ofoutnumbering the audiences we were playing forSo how did this band operating so far outside the traditional music world come to winNew England Music Awards Americana Act of the Year in 2023? What could havehappened to inspire John Oates to call Adam and invite him to begin a songwritingfriendship that would lead to John producing their upcoming release and co-write, HoldEach Other Now? What happened to catch the attention of The Wallflowers, whorecently invited AEG to join them on their spring tour, or SPIN Magazine who recentlyproclaimed, This Independent Underground Folk Band Is Blowing Up Without SellingOut?If you ask Adam, hell tell you:One person at a time, over many years and thousands of shows, decided to turn theirheads to listen. One person at a time decided to share our music with folks they careabout. Thats always been our story. Its no fairytale, but it sure makes me proud andhumbled when I look out from the stage to watch theaters full of people singing along toour music.These days youll find Adam and his bandmates, Corinna Smith (Fiddle), Poche Ponce(Bass), and Alex Martin (Percussion), constantly out on the road. If you look at theirtour schedule now, you can buy tickets to see them at festivals, rock venues, andtheaters around the country, but you will also see their tour continuously peppered withactivism and grassroots events; a testament to an artist who will never forget where hecame from, and whose mission is about much more than music.
