More About johnadamssings

Originally from the east coast, I now live in Billings, Montana! I am a singer-songwriter with roots in folk, country and blues. I draw my style and inspiration from the great songwriters from the 70's up to current day. Imagine if John Prine and James Taylor had a baby... then you'll start to get the idea. I play exclusively finger-style acoustic guitar and my shows are a blend of originals and fan-favorite covers with the occassional finger-style instrumental thrown in for good measure.
Fun Stuff about the Artist

Life on the Street

I tend to perform in small intimate venues. Recently, I had a funny situation. A table seemed to be enjoying the show, but, they also seemed to be seriously discussing something. After a few minutes, one of the guests came up to the stage, dropped a tip in the jar, and basically demanded that I sing Fire & Rain... I jokingly said something like "You are just assuming that I know it...." to which he replied a forceful "Yeah!". So, I played it, then he came back to the stage and asked "are you James Taylor"... I laughed and said "No....." Then he asked, "would you tell us if you were?" and I laughed again and said "No"..... kept me chuckling for the rest of the night... and yes, I played several other James Taylor songs just to keep them guessing.

Embarrassing Moment

too many to mention. You might say that my entire life is an embarrasing moment.

My Instrument

I'm an acoustic guy - my first good guitar was an Ovation, because back then (yes, I'm dating myself), those were the easiest acoustic guitars to amplify. Over the years I've owned Takamine's, other Ovations, and currently play a Martin 000-28, and a Paul Reed Smith Acoustic (Tonare SE). All depending on my mood.
