Jay Boy Adams
Singer, songwriter and guitarist Jay Boy Adams does more than just refute F. Scott Fitzgerald’s maxim that there are no second acts in American lives. He not only proves that a musical artist can enjoy a second musical career even more fulfilling than his impressive first time around, but also just how rich an American life can be through the many chapters of his fascinating life story.
The two most public acts of JAY BOY ADAMS life are his years as a pioneering roots-rock recording and touring artist from 1970 to 1982, and then returning to music a quarter century later with his acclaimed Top five Americana chart album THE SHOE BOX. In between he founded one of the top tour coach companies in the music business, bonded a relationship with ZZ TOP, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, CELINE DION, AND RINGO STARR that has lasted for more than forty years, and guided country star PAT GREEN to fame as his manager and executive producer. Since his return to musical action, Adams has also joined forces with fellow musical veterans in the Southern rock super group BROTHERS OF THE SOUTHLAND and his current duo project with Broadway performer and original cast member of HAIR, GOD SPELL, & JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, Ms. Zenobia. And the best is still yet to come.
