About Me

Hi everyone. I'm Adam. I'm 29, grew up in Indianapolis and moved to Fort Worth when I was 16. I'm a freelance musician.. I play piano, sing, conduct, direct, act, and arrange music. I've been a professional musician since junior high school, and since doing my first musical at age 14, I've acted, played piano for, provided musical direction for, orchestrated, played accordian for, composed, or any combination of all of those, for somewhere around 75 musicals or similar productions. I'm also a bigtime basketball enthusiast, and am a huge fan of my Pacer, Colts, and Mavericks. I love to shoot pool, bowl, go to bars, eat dinner out, cook, read, watch movies, play/watch basketball and football, go for walks, blast music, etc.I'm currently trying to find a great gig to launch me into Broadway... things overall are looking pretty good for that. I spent 2005 in Abingdon, VA working as the Asst. Musical Director for the Barter Theatre, state theatre of Virginia. Then I went on tour as musical director for a show called "3 Redneck Tenors" from January-March of this year. After doing a Burlesque Revue in Dallas, I went to Utah for a month to work with the Utah Festival Opera, followed by a stint with Galveston Island Musicals/Granbury Opera House. I spent October 2006-May 2007 working on cruise ships with Holland America Line, worked as musical director for the Mac-Haydn Theatre in Chatham, NY for the summer of 2007, and am currently employed as a pianist and singer aboard the Disney Magic cruise ship. I would love to get in touch with old friends, or make new ones, and just have a good time in general. Drop me a line.
