About Me

Adam's real music career began in Allentown when he had the opportunity to open for bands like The Badles at Ceder Crest College, and Jackal and The Wailers at Crocodile Rock. After a few years, Adam decided to move to Philadelphia to continue pursuing his career in music.In Philadelphia, Adam's undeniable energy and consistent sound led to regular gigs at bars and clubs all over the city. He began hosting open mic nights and even comedy nights at a plethora of local venues, rapidly building a loyal fan base.The band was asked in 2004 to open for The Bacon Brothers at the Borgata Casino, where they received an overwhelming standing ovation. The night went so well that they were asked to come back—less than two months later—to open for Blondie. Adam has also played with David Berkeley, Jill Sobule, and The Alarm.Adam engages listeners with his upbeat and expressive music. Lyrically, his songs strike a chord of sincerity, perspective, and wit. Adam Monaco continues to play all over the Philadelphia area, at venues such as the Point, the TLA, the North Star Bar, North by Northwest, the Tin Angel, and the World Cafe Live .The newest incarnation of the Adam Monaco Band fuses many different styles and influences which work to expand the horizon of traditional singer/songwriter music. Adam and the band just finished up recording tracks for their new album with producer and engineer, Andy "A2daK" Kravitz, at his home studio in Collingswood, NJ. This album marks yet another milestone in Adam's career and is just the frst of many more to come.Check out Adam's website for more information, pictures, songs, and to sign up for the e-newsletter.
