“PD Adams has a new album This Curious Wonder is newly released and wholly beautiful ! Channeling a stillness that honors true teachers like Thich Nhat Hanh, this is a deeply lovable album.  It’ll help you step back into a daydream repose or remember intuitively the core of human experience !”  Elise Cady  AMERICANA HIGHWAYS Mag Nashville

About PD Adams

RELEASE DATE 4/7/2022

For years I was a luthier building stringed instruments (An exotic 10 stringed Swedish Hummel for Daryl Hall is one example). But composing was my passion. In the 90’s inspired by college studies in Ethnomusicology, I released twelve instrumental albums with some success (amassing over 118 million streams on Pandora). I even won some nifty awards

Even though I was also writing poetry and lyric songs through the years, I  lacked confidence. I also felt too over exposed to release them. Thank God it came to me that if these songs fell in my head from that creative place of wonder, there was a reason for it. And my style of recording and producing was valid. None of us should ignore our gifts.

 I love being varietal and have always utilized many genres in my music. But, it’s created some confusion (Musicians, unlike painters are expected to stay in one genre). In releasing these lyric  tunes I’ve decided to use a slightly different name (PD Adams), to reduce confusion from my previous albums. So, this page expresses another side to my work and I feel grateful to have done it.  AND I'll feel grateful if some of you follow along this somewhat existential journey. Many thanks to ELIZABETH GEYER in Australia, national flatpicking champ ANDY HATFIELD and England's BRADLEY HARPER (Who I met on Instagram) on Pedal Steele. 

THIS CURIOUS WONDER RELEASE APRIL 7 2022.

I love composing the new age and world music, but I've always known I was also an old fashioned singer/songwriter as well. To keep from confusing fans and digital algorhythms, I'm releasing this under the name PD Adams. Anyway, I've finally finished THIS CURIOUS WONDER and I feel as if I have faced this mysteriously wonderful world (That can also be quite difficult at times) and poetically expressed those existential questions and conclusions that have been gifted to me from that magical place of wonder and awe. I am deeply grateful for having done this. Frankly, fear was my main barrier. It seems to have vanished. When I was a tiny fella, my neighbor Mrs Barton told me I should be a singer & lyricist. Took me awhile.  Again...grateful.

It is a different painting from my previous work and I hope it touches you as it's touched me. Elizabeth Geyer added direction and vocals and co composed the track SONGBIRD (With added piano). National Flatpicking champion Andy Hatfield added some incredibally creative mandolin. I met Bradley Harper (From the UK) on instagram who was looking for recording work. Not knowing him in the least, I gambled and sent him tracks and he mailed back steel guitar that was absolutely perfect. Sometimes It's good to risk! Of course David Hoffman provided a bit of trumpet on the song SPARK and really gave it excitement. Head over to the PD Adams page and listen. Also there is artwork and bonus art and poetry. Upon release date of 4/7/22 it will be available on all digital platforms. I hope you will search it out on social media and all the digital platforms like Spotify, Amazon, Apple, Pandora etc

“Ambitious and accessible, ethereal and familiar wistful and poetic yet brash and bold…causes feelings of dread and glee, lethargy and yes, wonder.  THIS CURIOUS WONDER is a little like some satisfying half-asleep musing about the mysteries of love and life….Highly recommended!”      BILL KNIGHT Community Word

" A highly personal album with highly universal feelings that might cut too close to the bone for the average mook to handle. Raw, bare knuckle writing throughout, a few spins through this is better and cheaper than therapy”    MIDWEST RECORD REVIEW
