Adam’s new CD ready for release
Adam has received the first shipment of his new CD, A.G.Olmstead II, his second disk of well-crafted, artfully rendered tunes.
The new set of songs was produced by the same crew as A.G.Olmstead, Adam’s debut CD released in 2006. This album features the addition of Terry Eldredge, lead singer with The Grasscals, who joined Adam for harmony vocals on a couple tunes. Each song on the CD is a beauty, from lyrics to vocals to instrumentation.
Adam has several release parties planned as he spreads his new songs around and is planning a tour with Alan O’Bryant and others.
The new material will be available for download on CD Baby soon.
