 Singer-songwriter Adam Dorfman
performs his songs with rich, warm vocals, intricate acoustic sounds
and elements of diversity and heart lacking in much of today’s
music. Take one part folk music,
add one part acoustic rock and a dash of country, and you’ve got the
sound that has gained Adam a faithful following of listeners of all
ages.
At the age of 15, Adam became one of the youngest artists ever to
play the renowned Eddie’s Attic in Decatur, GA. After a five year break from the
stage, Adam is back playing to audiences across the United States.
His collaborative projects include the names of some of the
finest artists in the country, including Shawn Mullins, Francine Reed,
Ellis Paul, Kristian Bush (of Sugarland) and Michelle Malone. Adam has also shared the stage with
such acts as Alison Krauss and Union Station, Shawn Mullins, Art Garfunkel, Anne Murray, Amy Ray of the Indigo
Girls, Pierce Pettis, Ben Folds Five, Sister Hazel, and more.
Adam’s stage presence is warm, his lyrics intelligent and his
guitar work richly complex. His
shows are a blend of original songs and cover versions of well-known
folk and rock songs. While
listeners are drawn into the straightforward, intimate lyrics of his
own work, Adam has proven himself capable of doing acoustic justice to
just about any song that can be played on a guitar. It is not unusual for his audiences
to sing along with him not only on well-known covers, but on his own
songs as well.
 The mature sounds of
Adam’s latest CD, The Difference,
are quickly gaining him a spot among folk rock’s foremost artists. From the powerful and tender strains
of the first track, “Shackles,” through the touchingly human stories
told in “Sioux Falls Soldier” and “Ashley’s Song,” Adam uses both his
songwriting and guitar playing skills to create an undeniably unique
sound that appeals to the very heart of his audience. While drawing influences from the
likes of Lyle Lovett, Tom Waits, Van Morrison, and Keith Urban, Adam’s
energetic original songs remain original and true to form.
Adam’s recordings include: The
Difference (2000), Does Not Play Well With
Others (1998), Psycho
Poet Recordings Volume Three (1997, out of print), Roller Coaster Trip
(1996), and TC-17 (1995). All were mixed, recorded and
co-produced by Don McCollister at Nickel and
Dime Studio in Avondale Estates, GA.
One of the finest producers of acoustic music in the country,
Don has mixed for the Indigo Girls, Caedmon’s
Call, Chuck Brodsky and Billy Pilgrim, as well as many others.
