Reminiscent of Springsteen for their muscle and passion, U2 for their do-right attitude, and Dave Matthews for their well-earned reputation for energetic live-shows, the Adam Ezra Group's grassroots approach to alternative folk rock has won them a dedicated fanbase. Each year, they host an annual charity concert called The Ramble, an event which has become so popular that fans bus out from all across the Northeast to attend it. Sonically, their music ranges from blues rock stompers laced with searing electric fiddle and frantic percussion, to lush folk ballads that spotlight frontman Adam Ezra's gritty, soulful voice. They've won three New England Music Awards: best song in 2016, album of the year in 2012, and band of the year in 2013. Their newest record, Hurricane Wind is entirely fan-produced and includes three collaborations with John Oates, of Hall and Oates. On working with Ezra, Oates has said "he represents the true spirit of a man who lives for his music and the people around him. He has the big three: creativity, talent, and heart."
