A Portland native, Adam Waxman began his playing career pretty late in the game at age 23, learning to play guitar and keys in a short time. Adam's true instrument lies in his sultry voice though, where he exhibits his love of motown, folk, R/B, and soul music. A man once described his music as buttery blue-eyed soul playing an array of originals and covers; stretching from Sam Cooke, John Prine, Van Morrison, and Stevie Wonder. An old soul, Adam truly loves to just play.
