Artist Bio

Working outside the confines of the traditional music industry, Adam Ezra and his bandmates – Corinna Smith (fiddle), Alex Martin (drums), Poche Ponce (bass) - built a community of fans through sheer grit and determination, regularly performing hundreds of shows a year for the past two decades without any major label or mainstream radio support. Fusing folk intimacy and rock energy with soul power and pop charm, the band first emerged from Boston in the early 2000s and quickly garnered widespread acclaim for their bold, insightful songwriting and interactive, euphoric performances. From hole in the wall bars and house concerts to sold-out headline shows and dates with the likes of Little Big Town, The Wallflowers, Gavin DeGraw, Train, and The Wailers, Ezra and his bandmates treated every single gig like their last, attracting a die-hard following that believed not just in the music, but in their commitment to activism and social change, as well.

The Adam Ezra Group hit their 500^th Live stream show on July 25^th, 2021. They have also played an additional 50 backyard socially distanced shows, and are starting to tour heavily again in traditional and outdoor venues. As if this wasn’t enough to keep them busy, the band also embarked on an ambitious new recording series dubbed ‘The Album Project’ which will see the band releasing at least 19 new singles over the next few years. What comes next for the Adam Ezra Group? The future is anyone’s guess right now, and the only thing the Adam Ezra Group knows for sure, is they’ll be out there making music however and whenever they can.

Gracie Day is currently nominated as 2018's "Female Performer of the Year" and "Best in State - CT" by the New England Music Awards, an organization that acknowledges independent, original acts across all six states. After releasing her first EP in November of 2017 and winning "Best New Act" at NEMA, Day is quickly getting noticed for her songwriting, singing and performances. She was a semi-finalist in the international Unsigned Only Songwriting Contest, and was selected for a showcase at the prestigious Durango Songwriter's Expo, a convention for professional songwriters and industry pros. Day travels back and forth from Nashville while recording her new songs at the famous Sound Emporium where everyone from Johnny Cash to Alabama Shakes has recorded. Gracie Day's latest single, "Tennessee" is steadily climbing on Spotify, gaining thousands of plays.

Previously based in Hartford, and now in Central Massachusetts, Day was named “Best Folk Band” in CTNow’s Best of Hartford Reader’s Poll for 2017. The genre “Folk”, though a large influence on Day’s lyric writing, doesn’t quite describe the mixture of rock, soul and country in her sound. Gracie Day is now working with a new line-up and playing larger stages all over New England, with plans to tour further next year. With Joel Rines on bass, Brooks Milage on keys and Duncan Arsenault on drums, Gracie's earnest voice and heartfelt storytelling cuts through a landscape of dynamic sound and thoughtful arrangement. Gracie Day is currently releasing singles while working on her first full-length album. Meanwhile, make sure you catch a performance on a stage near you.
