Born in Bethlehem, PA, Adam Web would discover the guitar and his voice early in his college career at Philadelphia University. The sounds that emerged were acoustic driven, though not your average folksy singer-songwriter sounds -- funk, reggae, jazz, and everything in between had Adam’s mind saying, “that sounds right”. His unique blend of percussive guitar grooves, smooth soulful vocals, and an array of hope filled lyrics has created a new branch on the singer/songwriter tree. With his rootsy approach he has drawn comparisons to such contemporaries as Jack Johnson, Dave Matthews, and Jason Mraz, but still maintains a definitive sound of his own. Building a strong fan base as well as impressing club promoters has afforded Web performances at nationally acclaimed venues such as The Tin Angel and The World Café in Philadelphia and has also allowed him to spread his music into New York City and Washington, D.C.
Adam’s career took shape “down under” while studying abroad in Melbourne, Australia. It was during this time of discovery that he began writing about love, peace, and a search for heightened awareness. Drawing inspiration from both uplifting literature and an eclectic mix of musical influences, Web began creating a sound all his own. After receiving an overwhelmingly positive response at many college and pub performances, he returned to the States knowing that music would be his purpose and career. He began performing in Philadelphia landing consistent gigs at The Grape Street Pub; a prominent national original music venue. It would be here that Web would eventually record his first live Cd in the summer of 2006.
Live shows with Adam Web are an upbeat affair with plenty of funk and reggae infused tunes to keep the audience engaged. With his laid back demeanor and a peaceful sense of humor, he alleviates any tension in the room and brings everyone to a triumphant calm. From the moment the first note sounds, the crowd is brought into a world where hope and love rule and any worries are lost in the sweet sound of his voice. The full band performances give a powerful boost to Web’s songs as they include a very energetic hand percussionist named Greg Lissauer and the groove defining Adam Smith on bass guitar. During his solo performances, Adam creates an awed silence that is softly pierced by soulful vocals.
His current project “Once We Were Stars”, a self produced studio album, is an exploration of groove and a hopeful humanity. From the funk infused “Bluff” and “Rogue Lover” to the beachy soul rhythms of “Life is My Play”, Web capitalizes on his ability to shine vocals onto a backdrop of simplistic grooves. The rich and sensitive track “Say Often” owns a soulful chorus promoting consistent affection towards our loved ones, while the more universal “Standstill” searches for a love and understanding of all people. Backed by a talented display of hand percussion, keys, and bass guitar, Web fills out his songs while still holding on to the organic simplicity that is his identity. Lyrically he locates a median between the human experience and the ethereal plane as he expresses, “The lyrics touch on our everyday personal emotions while keeping a pulse on the bigger picture...the broader perspective of who and what we are and of what we’re all capable of becoming.”
As seen by a recent sold out performance at The Tin Angel, Adam Web’s career is on the rise and his music is on the verge of breaking out. An up and coming artist, he has a warmth that draws listeners in and a talent that will keep them coming back for years to come. With aspirations to spread this music across the country and beyond, he is currently seeking representation and a record label to put forth his efforts.
