New Yorkers—and other citizens of the world—tune in to WFUV 90.7 FM tonight at 9:00 PM. I'll be playing songs and chatting on the "Words & Music from Studio A" program. Click here to listen live! If you miss the original broadcast, it will be archived here.

This is year is starting off with a double-barrelled bang. I'm featured on new CDs by two of my favorite artists making music these days—Ani DiFranco and Anaïs Mitchell. Ani's record comes out next week, and Anaïs' record will be released in February.

Big news: I'll be headlining at NYC's prestigious Joe's Pub-my very first
time-on Wednesday, 8 February. My friends The Mastersons will be opening.

Tickets are on sale now, HERE.
See my GIGGAGE page for more details.

My CD 'The Heart Collector' was 100% fan funded via Kickstarter. Initially released to my backers on St. Valentine's Day, we're officially [re]releasing the album globally today. Got it?

Dear friends, fans, and family,

As most of you know, I originally released The Heart Collector on Valentine's Day. I'm now getting ready to rerelease the CD—with wider distribution, a dedicated publicity campaign, and an autumn tour (see dates below). I may even be playing in your hometown. You can help support the CD and tour by coming to a show, purchasing online from my web store, spreading the word among your music-loving friends, and/or giving me a hug next time you see me. Thanks so much for your support—in any and every form.

~Adam

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13th

I was recently taped for a new TV show called Jimmy Lloyd Songwriter Showcase. I performed "A Promise to California" and was interviewed about my songwriting process. The series airs nationally on NBC. My episode has not been broadcast yet, but you can watch my segment here.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 15th

My new acoustic CD ‘The Heart Collector’ is out now. You can order the CD from my site HERE and at shows. The download is also available from my site HERE and on iTunes, and Bandcamp.

You ask, “When is the next live show?” I’ll tell you! There’s going to be a CD-release throwdown at Rockwood Music Hall in NYC on 9 February. I’m playing a double-header that night. The first set, at 10 p.m., will be all acoustic. The second set, at 11 p.m., will feature my soul-stirring band — the Mint Imperials.

There will be more dates to follow—maybe even one in your town. Check the tour dates page for details.

I'm also released a recording I made with my band at Sun Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, back in January 2008. We were invited to come and play there, and had such a great time, but I for some reason—now forgotten—I decided not to release our Sun session. Three years later, I listened again, and realized that those recordings are pretty fantastic. They document a pivotal moment when my band and I were exploring territory beyond the songs and sounds of our 2007 Washing Day release. Not to mention, there we were, in the birthplace of rock-and-roll. Live from Sun Studio is out now and available by download only, from adamlevy.com and Bandcamp.
