Singer-songwriter, one-man-band Adam Michael Rothberg was named Top 20 Finalist and awarded Honorable Mention in the 12th Annual (2009) UniSong Contest, and named Regional Finalist in the 2008 Mountain Stage NewSong contest. His latest CD "Another Spin" hit 24 on the national FolkDJ charts. Berkshire Living calls the Pittsfield, MA native “the Berkshire’s answer to Paul McCartney….[his latest CD,] "Another Spin" is at once a testament to Rothberg’s love affair with music and his love affair with love, and suggests that distinguishing between the two isn’t always so easy." "He's toured with Joan Baez, produced Dar Williams and performed with the best of the folk scene," touted Boston's Weekly Dig, "but now it's Rothberg's turn to step out of the folk shadows, … the result, "Another Spin", is lyrical poetry and multi-instrumental duty. (He plays the guitar, piano, udu, mandolin, percussion and the Turkish oud!)” Adam’s clever, and nostalgic lyrics, are showcased on his latest release, “Another Spin” supporting his talents as singer as well as skillful multi-instrumentalist: he plays just about every instrument on the CD. As with his first album, “All the Whispering,” Rothberg, whose influences include The Beatles, Randy Newman, Mark Knopfler, Elvis Costello, and Wilco, among myriad others wrote, performed, produced, and engineered “Another Spin.”
