{"title":"Adam Karch","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAdam Karch grew up on a farm in L'Acadie, a small town in province of Quebec. Music was an important part of his childhood, as the stereo was always alive and his older brother had a band of his own. Adam was fascinated by guitars; his father bought him a left-handed acoustic guitar and Adam began studying the styles of Jeff Healey and Stevie Ray Vaughan, acquiring books of guitar transcriptions and slaving over them for long hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAt age 15, he was playing the circuit in make-shift bar bands, showing an unusual talent for those settings. Adam did not only reveal his power as a guitarist, but also a strong, distinguished vocalist. The kid from L'Acadie was stunning audiences with his mature voice and guitar cries that echoed far beyond his years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAt age 18, he was touring Germany, playing with Jeff Healey. Suddenly, the youngster who had laboured to learn Jeff Healey's repertoire was playing on the same stage with him! Festival organizers began to pay attention to this young guitar sensation and the bookings began. He played the Montreal Jazz festival, Rimouski Sherbrooke Blues Festival, Medley Blues, St. Hyacinth, Trois Rivieres, and Mont Tremblant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAdam found himself playing with Coco Montoya, the legendary L.A. guitarist, he found himself center stage with Colin James ? suddenly, hard work and dreams turned into a spirited limelight. Adam's sound is pure energy; somewhere amid blues, rock, and country. Preserving a deep, almost dramatic respect for each one of these styles, he found a sound that is simply Adam Karch, the artist. His style fuses the characteristics and the spirit of Americana.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.adamkarchmusic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003ci class=\"fa fa-globe fa-3x\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/adamkarchmusic\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003ci class=\"fa fa-facebook-square fa-3x\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/adamkarch\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003ci class=\"fa fa-instagram fa-3x\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/1dfvkgELrQ48vW7VAfa8lm\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003ci class=\"fa fa-spotify fa-3x\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n","products":[{"product_id":"crossroad-diaries-1","title":"Crossroad Diaries","description":"\u003cp\u003eGuitar-ripper Karch gets big sound from his band, his notable blues mentor\/producer Walter Rossi, and certainly his Strat. He sounds a bit like a Colin James or Brian Setzer (Both Happy) in voice and, considering the horns, large band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe arrangements, like in the sumptuous In Blue, betray that a lot of talents had hands in this. Karch co-penned all the songs (mostly with James Stadnyk) and the grooves are showy blues\/rock: ballads like Just About Broken or Goodbye blend with drivers like We Ain't Going Home Tonight or the top cut The Flame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith this kind of production and backing, big wonder if Karch isn't opening soon for name acts or, who knows, maybe they'll be opening for him.
