Ironic's Adam Payne @ Grumpy Doyle's 1/25/12

Ironic's Adam Payne will be performing on 1/25/12 from 7pm-10pm at Grumpy Doyle's, located at 530 Main Street in Reading, Massachusetts.

There is no mistaking the sultry sounds of Adam Payne. With a smile and sound as big as his afro, Adam entertains full crowds with his fusion of Funk, R&B, Folk, and Acoustic.
Payne has shared the stage with artists ranging from the Avett Brothers to The Pharcyde as well as members of the Wu-Tang Clan. He has collaborated with Artists all over the globe, and lends his writing, production and vocal talents to projects across many genres including producing and composing the music for a documentary film about the Rwandan Genocide entitled 'Coexist.'
On three separate occasions, Payne was featured on CBS Channel 4 Boston's 'Sundays with Liz Walker' and he was also generously recognized in the Boston Globe. In addition, Payne attended the MIDEM Music Conference in France on behalf of Sonicbids where he spoke on a panel about brands and their interest in independent artists.
Adam is also active in the community and supports a myriad of causes. Payne is the founder of the Benefit for Jane, a cause which raises funds and awareness of Kidney Cancer in honor of his late mother and is sponsored by the Kidney Cancer Association.

These days, Adam can be found vibing out solo, or with his full band 2ADAM12. The full band presents some of the finest players in the Greater Boston area, with pieces ranging from the standard four to the gargantuan eight. No matter the line-up, an Adam Payne show is surely one to remember.
PRESS/REVIEWS for more press visit: http://adampayne.biz/press.html:

•"Acoustic singer-songwriter Adam Payne...should appeal to fans of Ben Harper and newcomer Ryan Shaw. That means it's neo-soul with a jam band vibe..." -Boston Globe
•"If the Meters and the Red Hot Chili Peppers squared off in a Petri dish with Sam Cooke and Ben Harper as referees, they would form the multicellular organism known as 2ADAM12." "At the border which separates Funk from Rock, there sit 4 gents who come together and deliver a cross-section of something exciting, fresh, and nourishing to the ears. Their name is 2ADAM12..." R.E. Cheshire, CT
•"...2Adam12 brings the same kind of expertise to their music as the Neville Brothers. Which is to say, everything is focused around the groove, which is the paramount ingredient that makes all the other elements work..." -Jay Miller, The Patriot Ledger
