SLICK ADAMS

About Me

Guitars and banjos and mandolins, oh my! Hailing from the heart of the Heartland, Slick Adams is an American band. Their unique, laid back energy is Midwest American through and through. From the sweet strut of "Dancin' in the Rain" to the hoe down swing of "Honky Tonkin'", Slick Adams' debut release "Dues Paid" is like a sentimental ride through the small towns and wide open spaces of middle American values.
Lead Singer Troy's voice ranges from farm boy innocence to world wise country soul. Backed by first class multi-instrumentalists Chris, Len, Dan and JD along with the absolutely smokin rhythm section of drummer John and bassist Al, Slick Adams can make you sing and dance or laugh and cry.
"Dues Paid" boasts not only some great, all original songs, but also some dynamite playing along with a wide selection of musical ideas. Sweet harmonies glide over a mix of acoustic and electric guitars, banjos, mandolins and harmonica. As good as "Dues Paid" is, there is nothing like seeing this band live. Chemistry may be an overused term for bands like this, but these seven musicians no doubt have it in droves.
In the grand tradition of the Eagles, Creedence, John Mellencamp, Alabama and many others, Slick Adams is an American band aimed straight at the heart of the Heartland.
