BIOGRAPHY (for a more detailed bio, visit the Bio Page)
ADAM CARROLL joins the short list of down-home storytellers taking events of ordinary lives and turning them into deeply moving, often humorous songs. Though he's kept a low profile, his past seven records have earned him critical acclaim throughout the world.
“The core of what I do is songwriting; it's the one thing I'm passionate about. It's the most fulfilling and challenging job I can imagine." Adam Carroll
From his first studio record, South of Town, through Far Away Blues, to his latest release, Live At Flipnotics, the quality of his songwriting never wavers. Adam Carroll is one of those songwriters with a rare command of the English language as well as an amazing sense of melody.
It's little surprise that he's earned enviable comparisons to the likes of Townes Van Zandt, Todd Snider, John Prine, and even Bob Dylan. Like those songwriters, Carroll uses ironic (but heartfelt) humor to leaven his sometimes personal, usually emotional, and always poignant observations.
"Among singer-songwriters, Adam Carroll is probably Austin's best-kept secret. His tunes are marvels of economy; .. constantly inventive and decidedly offbeat .. Live at Flipnotics offers a typically low-key yet inviting overview of his career. With Scrappy Jud Newcomb on guitar, he sparkles .. "
Jim Caligiuri, Austin Chronicle
