Adam was born in New Orleans, Louisiana to a psychiatrist father and school teacher mother. He spent his childhood getting winks from the ladies from within his mother's Mazda minivan, listening to casette tapes of the Jacksons. Meaning Alan Jackson and Michael Jackson.. His family relocated to a remote part of southwestern Virginia in the. Appalachian mountains. Adam taught himself to play the guitar and performed with southern rock and heavy metal bands throughout his teens. Subsiding on primarily tomato and mayo sandwiches during these years, he managed to achieve a perfect score on the prestigious and alluring National Latin Exam. While living in this part of the country, he heard the region's native music, bluegrass, for the first time. He eventually became enchanted by its awesomeness and got his first banjo when he was 18.. Hall went on to major in music at the University of Virginia. After completing his studies (dean's list, bitches!), and a brief stint of living in the northern Mississippi hill country, Adam packed up his banjo, threw a stick-with-clothes-bundle over his shoulder, and headed to Los Angeles. He attended Musicians Institute in Hollywood, where nearly everybody had arrived donning a stick-with-clothes-bundle, and earned a degree in guitar performance.. Adam now gigs regularly in southern California, playing guitar, banjo, and dobro (not all at once, although that would make him really fucking cool), and has headlined a national tour as a member of country artist Jason Charles Miller's band. He has had the pleasure of some great gigs, opening for Alan Jackson at the Greek Theatre, opening for country star Gary Allan, and performing at the Stagecoach festival.. Adam's favorite music is Country and Bluegrass.. Adam curates the following channels: Country, Blues, Folk
