Join us for an evening with Singer-Songwriter Mark Adams. Just in time for his Pre-Release of Not Dark Yet – A Tribute to Bob Dylan. Writing and recording original music for 20 years, he grew up listening to honkytonk as well as hardcore and punk. Picker Lefty Frizzell and The Dead Kennedys are cited among his earliest influences. Old country and punk’s shared themes of staunch independence, fresh cultural insight, humor, unabashed and thoughtful self-exploration and the confidence to call BS when seen, have long informed Adams’ artful and playful songwriting. Mark’s also the winemaker at Ledge Vineyards in Paso Robles so we have no doubt he’ll bring his blend of music for a fabulous evening at PoP!
