A concert featuring Adam Ezra Group is set for 7:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 20, at The Waldo Theatre, 916 Main St., Waldoboro.
This underground, Americana songwriter and his bandmates seem to have popped out of nowhere, establishing a connection with their fans unlike any other, and are suddenly selling out theaters throughout the Northeast.
Ezra will joke that while the “nowhere” part might be accurate, nothing has ever just “popped” for this folk musician, activist. Without resources, connections, or any kind of clue how the music world works, Ezra began playing shows over 20 years ago. When music venues wouldn’t hire him, he played bars, bookstores, fields, and parking lots, often raising money for causes he cared about; a practice that grew into his nonprofit organization RallySound.
These days you’ll find Adam and his bandmates, Corinna Smith (fiddle), Poche Ponce (bass), and Alex Martin (percussion), constantly out on the road.
Tickets cost $30-$55.
