Dee Adams performs "Pennsylvania"

Name: Dee Adams

When/Where playing this week?

With my band, Dee & the Housecats on Sat., May 20 at Mohawk Place, 47 E. Mohawk St., 7:30-10pm. $5.

When did you start performing?

I've been singing and performing since grade school. I studied at Berklee and learned guitar, songwriting, and live sound, and haven't stopped learning and playing for 13 years.

You might like my music if you like...

I'm too close to it to be objective, but I've been told: Indigo Girls, Jonatha Brooke, Edie Brickell, Pretenders, Richard Thompson, John Hiatt.

List of Recorded Releases...

Dee Adams & the Roadtrippers, Taking My Time (Sage Indie Music, 2003) and a song "Pennsylvania" on Artists Inspired by Literature, Chapter 2. (www.artistsforliteracy.org)

Upcoming events...

I'm looking forward to lots of solo gigs, lots of band gigs, and lots of friends' bands gigs throughout the summer. In the fall, Channel 23 WNLO will be broadcasting the Music Is Art Live At The Center show that I played with my band Dee & the Housecats.

Worst show ever played...

ABC No Rio in NYC, because it was 98 degrees at 9pm, the venue had no air conditioning, and had gotten a noise ordinance violation so they could not open the windows or doors.

Anything else you would like our readers to know about yourself/your music?

I do a lot of shows as a solo act, as well as with my band, Dee & the Housecats, which is made up of some great Buffalo musicians—Charlie Gannon on guitar, Michael Tinsmon on bass and Nick Runfola on drums.
