About Adam Scramstad
Adam is an Acoustic & Electric Finger-style & Blues Musician, born and raised in Oregon. Performing regularly throughout the Pacific Northwest, Scramstad’s reputation as a professional Blues Guitarist & Vocalist is rapidly becoming widespread.
A strong and creative Songwriter in his own-right, Scramstad’s repertoire also covers a broad range of Early American Folk/Blues artists’ works – such as: Son House, Bukka White, Mississippi John Hurt, Rev. Gary Davis, Robert Johnson, Big Bill Broonzy, Lightning Hopkins, Blind Blake, John Fahey, Elizabeth Cotton.
2006 marked the release of Scramstad’s debut album of Solo Acoustic Guitar music entitled "No Sun Around Blues". The CD was a mix of Acoustic Blues (w/vocal) & Finger-style guitar songs, and quickly became a favorite of local NW Radio Stations:

2008 sees Scramstad signed to the fresh new Roots & Blues Label “PsycheDelta Records”. Adam’s highly anticipated follow-up CD “Down the Muddy Creek Blues” is slated for early 2009 release.
Although he maintains a focus on Solo Acoustic Delta Slide & Country Blues (both vocal and instrumental), Adam also performs with Blues Guitar Legend Terry Robb (Adam’s Producer & Mentor)– as an Acoustic Duo as well as slinging electric guitar in the acclaimed Terry Robb Band.

"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
