About Me

adam garza began playing acoustic guitar, writing songs and singing them eight years ago in stockbrigde, ga at the awkward age of 15 (he was homeschooled). two years later he found himself having to randomly move to athens but luckily its a music town. hiding out behind the scenes for a number of years he came out of his musical shell in january 2007 to do his first shows ever, never letting go of his love for the acoustic guitar and singer songwriter sensibilities he had from day one.
