Adam Hood with Brian Keane

@ Antone's Sat 02/11

Event Details

Adam Hood, 28, hails from East-central Alabama, but you'd be out-of-luck trying to pigeon-hole his style geographically. First picking up a guitar at age ten, by fourteen he was playing live in church bands. By sixteen, Hood had dropped off the football team and onto the local scene playing week-end gigs at local restaurants. "I could either make money playing music, or sit on the bench," he says. After a stint at Auburn University, Hood entered the job-world and tried to back away from music. "I gave it up for three months in '97 when I moved to Montgomery (Alabama), and I went crazy. It's been getting better and more consistent ever since I moved back to Auburn."

Indeed it has gotten better. Over the past ten years, Hood has become one of the most successful local fixtures in the college town of Auburn, Alabama. During that time, a soulful arsenal of original music crept through his usual covers, inspired by the songwriting spirits of musicians like John Hiatt, Ian Moore, and Steve Earle. In response, his local following has steadily grown.
