ANTHONY ADAMS BIOGRAPHY

Singer songwriter Anthony Adams was raised on the Acoma Indian Reservation located sixty miles west of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Anthony's love for music started at an early age when his parents brought back a guitar from the border town of Juarez, Mexico. Anthony remembers:

"I was in love with that colorful guitar my folks picked up from one of the outdoor marketplaces in Juarez. I played it back home on the reservation until one day under the hot New Mexico sun the glue holding it together gave way and my guitar imploded into a ball of wood, glue and guitar strings," Anthony laughs.

Anthony has played in several bands throughout New Mexico, Texas, and Louisiana, where he made several stage appearances on the Louisiana Hayride Radio Show broadcasting live on KWKH out of Shreveport, Louisiana.

Anthony recalls, "The Louisiana Hayride Radio Show was a great experience. To stand and sing on the same stage that Hank Williams, Elvis Presley, George Jones, Johnny Horton, Lefty Frizzell and many others stood was overwhelming and an honor. The walls of the "Green Room" had signatures and quotes from hundreds of performers who had played there throughout the years. I couldn't resist penning my name on the wall backstage before I left."

Anthony Adams now lives in Eagle River, Alaska and works in the northern Alaska oilfields two hundred miles above the Arctic Circle. His songwriting is inspired by the people and landscapes of both New Mexico and Alaska.

Anthony Adams and the "Arctic Express Band" consist of some of Anchorage’s top musicians.

Anthony states: When I first moved from the Albuquerque music scene to Alaska, I was reluctant to leave such a fine group of musicians that I had been working with in New Mexico. When I arrived in Anchorage I had met one of Alaska’s best musicians and music producers in the state. "Stu Schulman is a musical genius" Anthony affirms. Stu and I were working on a project when he was listening to a demo tape I had recorded in Albuquerque and he was able to recognize the pedal steel guitar player by his style. Come to find out they had worked together years prior in Nashville. The music world can be a small world; there are similar stories with everyone of the musicians in the "Arctic Express Band".
