My Latest Single!
I remember hearing a song call “Haunting Goodbye” on Ronnie Bowman’s “The Man I’m Trying To Be” album. The pain and anguish in his voice was tangible. You could almost hear the tears fall from his cheeks. I always wanted to sing a song like that. This song is from the perspective of a man who is guarding his heart as good as he can to avoid ever being hurt, and yet no matter how hard he tries, just a touch from the one he loves brings all of those figurative fences to the ground.
My approach on this song was somewhere between Merle Haggard and Ronnie Bowman. I’m honored to have been able to record this song from the pens of my pal Mark “Brink” Brinkman and the late Dale Pyatt.

Biography
From a young age Adam showed an interest in music of all kinds, but at 14 years old he fell in love with Bluegrass music! At 16 he and two friends from school got a job playing music at a local amusement park. Two years later Adam was hired to go on the road playing guitar and singing tenor for Dry Branch Fire Squad where he stayed for a three-year stint.
Adam left Dry Branch in 2003 to start a family with his wife. In late 2005 Adam received a call from banjo man Joe Mullins who was setting in to motion starting a band called Joe Mullins and the Radio Ramblers. After six and a half years as the Radio Rambler’s guitarist and lead vocalist, Adam left the road again in 2013 to go to work for Dennis Vance at The Mandolin Store, but soon returned to playing music with a short stint with American Drive, and a year later once more joined with the Dry Branch Fire Squad on guitar.
In 2019 Adam rejoined Joe Mullins and the Radio Ramblers. Later that year Joe Mullins and the Radio Ramblers won the International Bluegrass Music Associations top honor as they were named Entertainer of the Year.
During the pandemic “shut down” Adam used his spare time to double his studies and in December of 2021 graduated Lee University with a Bachelors degree in Pastoral Leadership with an emphasis in Counseling.
In 2024 Adam released his very first solo project called “Restless” on Billy Blue Records. This is a record that Adam says is 25 years in the making with some fantastic original material as well as a few fresh takes on songs well loved from the bluegrass community. Adam is already deep into the planning stages on followup material.
Adam and his wife, Jessica, have three daughters. One is in college, one in high school, and one in pre-school. They are also foster parents and have had 5 placements with one resulting in adoption. They have a passion for families as evidenced by their efforts in the foster system as well as offering a wide array of marriage and life coaching.
