The Short Version… I am a singer/songwriter who writes music designed to inspire you, loosen up your stiff neck, and make your beer, wine or any other beverage taste a lot better. I enjoy good beer, an occasional smoke, and a good success book. And you? The Long Version… I am a married and young 37 year-old father of three who discovered that not only do I love making up songs BUT I can actually sing a little and even play some guitar while doing it. After putting my new found talent on display for family and friends and then getting a good response and some encouragement, I decided to take my new found talent to the public. This again, resulted in a good response and more encouragement. But, I still was being kind of yella (as in “some folks called him yella” from Kenny Rogers tune “Coward of the County”). Then, after a few years a s a indie music blogger, podcaster and internet marketer, I realized that what many of the artists were doing was something I could do and in some cases, better. I figured, what the hell! So here I am, putting myself out there with the ultimate goal of a full-time career in music. It is something that I need to do for myself, my family as well as each and everyone one of you that need proof that it is never to late – and you are never to old – to pursue your passion and to live life on your own terms.
In 1993 Amy walked into “The Blue Guitar” in Stillwater, Minnesota and into Mark’s life to perform at an open-mic. Amy was the voice for “I’M FLYING” It was love at first hear, and the rest is herstory and history. “I had a wonderful childhood. Mom and Dad loved music and they both played the piano and sang. For fun sometimes Dad recorded himself playing and singing. I always thought that he should be on the Perry Como show. Like a lot of kids, I took piano lessons for several years. What I learned really helped me when I traded playing air-guitar with the Beatles for the real thing. In my early teens my older sister gave me her old six-string but I found it hard to play, so I kind of gave up. Then she came home from college with her new12-string and wow! I played it whenever I could. This colorful dream started to unfold, like realizing a true passion. Mark Edward Adams began harmonizing in the womb with his mother Virginia Adams in 1951. Virginia, grandmother Susan, father Ed, sisters Beth and Mary, brother Tom, and the young Mark performed at churches and service clubs in and around Marshalltown, Iowa as The Adams Family Singers. The first song Mark recalls writing was VOTE FOR BARRY, during the 1964 Presidential campaign. He also remembers his knees nervously knocking underneath his robe during his solo for the Central Junior High Chorus Christmas Pageant. At age 16, after years of struggling with piano and violin, Mark got his first guitar, and began writing and performing his own songs publicly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
