Falling Upwards

Adam James cut his teeth on east coast stages and recording studios writing and performing extensively in bands like the post-hardcore Sleep Bellum Sonno, Prog-punk outfit The Vigilance Committee and his gritty folk-rock creative brainchild More Than Skies.  With influences ranging from The Beatles and Beach Boys to Cut Worms and Nada Surf, Adam’s musically intelligent and poetically vulnerable songwriting would feel at home on playlists among Beach House, Conor Oberst, Richard Swift and Death Cab For Cutie.

Following 2020’s Lucky Dollar City EP, The Willows, Adam James’ solo debut full-length project is due out late summer. The Willow’s dreamy California sound pays homage to his time spent in LA by way of NY.  The LP’s dreamy California vibes replete with slide guitars, synths, and nostalgia-inducing reverb-doused melodies reflect his swapping of coasts and intimately shares the emotional journey all this dogged traveling and prolific creating has been.
