About
I have worked professionally as a sideman for over a decade. Well-versed in all styles of music, you can rely on me to deliver a quality service and to tastefully support any rhythm and blues, funk, rock, country, latin, or jazz group. I graduated magna cum laude from Arizona State University with a Bachelor of Music.
If you are an Arizona native, like myself, you probably know many of the local names, groups and/or organizations with whom I have played, namely:
A 7 centuries-old prison in Edinburgh, Scotland--Rock-solid!
- Allen & Ted DeQuina
- Danny Walls and The Canyon Walls Country Band
- Limelight Entertainment
- LoudHouse Band
- Marvin Leo Forte
- Rock Lobster
- Rhythm/FX
- SwingTips
- Tod Miller and The Walkens
- Uncle Mike Band
- Young Country
I have also had the honor and pleasure of performing with two-time Grammy Award-winning bassist, Mel Brown, and 2007 International Instrumental Artist of the Year, Nick Colionne.
As a sideman for hire, most of what I do is perform with groups who serve corporate functions and club environments with live music entertainment. It is important to me that music, no matter the genre, be performed with authenticity and delivered with a solid sense of time, feel and musicality. After all, that’s what we musicians are hired to do, right?
I am also available for theatre and session work, and can read and write charts for just about any musical occasion. I have professional gear and mics, can play live to a click, understand cues and how to deliver them, know countless tunes from all genres, and am willing to dedicate personal time to firming up a set with a dedicated and working band, if necessary.
Best of all, when it comes time to perform, not only do I come prepared, but I arrive ahead of schedule, every time. Further, I have no constraints, addictions, nor any personal entanglements which would preclude me from traveling for the cause--that's a commodity in this business!
If you are interested in hiring me for a 1-time affair, or for longer-term, please call me at 714-927-4564 or email me at jasonadamsdrums@gmail.com.
Thank you.
