Adam Turner
I live in Austin, Texas by way of New York City. I've been writing songs and playing the guitar for about 10 years.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes, I play primarily coffee shops and small bars. I like playing in bars because I often get to drink for free. I sound better when the listener is drunk, too. I don't like coffee shops because people tend to get all jacked up on caffeine and talk too much and too loud.
Your musical influences
When I was a kid, I'd found a cache of 8-track tapes with some really great singer/songwriters like Harry Chapin, Simon & Garfunkel, James taylor, Blly Joel and so on. I also got into REM and the Michael Stipe used his voice as an instrument instead of merely for the sake of conveying a message thru lyrics.
