Adam Hill

Four Shades of Green

About Me

"On his debut, this Portland, Ore. resident delivers an antidote to the melancholy tuneage that characterizes his hipper-than-thou hometown. . . .with a style that could be pulled from the New Lost City Ramblers songbook, but with the progressiveness of the Country Gentlemen. . . . Hill will inevitably be lumped with old-time revivalists like Old Crow Medicine Show, but in actuality he’s more difficult to peg. He could be right at home next to Vandaveer and Luke Temple. Four Shades of Green is wayfaring like the Hackensaw Boys but vogue like the Avett Brothers."
