Sitting by the fire on a cold winter’s night... Enjoying that first cup of coffee in the morning... Songs to sing you to sleep and then wake you up again... Songs of heartache, songs of hope...
Formed in 2005, the Flashing
Reds are Mike “Diplomat” Adamowicz
(guitar, harmonica, and vocals), Justin Kisch

The Flashing Reds blend rock and Americana influences into their own unique style. Waxing poetic, they might tell you that their songs sound like: "Sitting by the fire on a cold winter’s night... Enjoying that first cup of coffee
in the morning... Songs to sing you to sleep and then wake you up again...
Songs of heartache, songs of hope...” Influences include R.E.M.,
Neil Young, Counting Crows, the Jayhawks, Ben Folds Five, Aimee Mann,
and Elvis Costello.
The Flashing Reds’ debut CD is now available. They continue to play throughout New England: please check back for shows in your area.
Super gig at the greenwich hotel! big full band sound, smart lyrics plus funny, personal audience interaction and professional, warm attitude-- a real pleasure--let's do it again soon, frank martyn
Thanks for sharing the stage at Five Points last night. I really enjoyed it. Now that your New York City cherry has popped, you'll have to come down more often.
It was awesome to play with you again! You guys are sounding great, and I have an awesome time, can't wait to do it again. I'll be in touch re: a show in Maine once I take a look at things... see you soon!
hey let me know more about upcoming shows! I wasn't available to come out this weekend since I was runnign the sound boards for a show in Putnam. Keep the shows coming! I gots to hear you play!
y'all ever thought about trying to get a slot during the Strange Creek Campout or Wormfest? Small local festival, I don't imagine the money'd be great but the scene is very cool and fun and there are plenty of cool folk in western mass (like REAL western mass, not worcester)
