About Me

The saga of Adrien is not a complex one, nor is it shrouded in much mystery. Born and raised in Nashville, TN, Adrien grew up in a house full of music and art. One could say his passion for music is less divine inspiration and more genetic inevitability than anything else. Adrien started writing songs in late 2004 when the band he was currently in stopped meeting to practice. Frustrated at being “just” a bass player, he picked up an acoustic guitar and banged out a few rough chords. Over the last few years he has refined his song-writing into a pleasant blend of alt-folk-rock, recording two EPs worth of material (“A Ghost You Know” and “Giving Up the Ghost”), and all the while garnering increasingly positive feedback, especially at shows, where the lineup can range from one person to twelve. If you get a chance, go check him out. His songs are decent and he ain't too bad to look at. ..
