About Me

Adam McBride-Smith grew up in Oklahoma and moved to New York City in 2002. In May, 2007 he released an album of original songs called "Good and Gone." The album was recorded in Brooklyn with the help of Malachi DeLorenzo and Paul Difiglia of the War Eagles. For recent reviews of this album see the 'blog' section of this site. In June 2007 Adam was selected as a regional finalist in the NewSong Contest, sponsered by Mountain Stage. Adam was also a collaborator on Elan Mehler's upcoming album, "The After Suite" which will feature him singing two original songs (including a new version of "I Want to Leave You"--see above.) "The After Suite" is due out on Brownswood Records on March 19th, 2009. Adam is currently living in Paris, France.
