Adam Hood hasn’t played a show at the Blue Light in two years, and it was obvious from the start that he was missed. People piled into the bar to spend their Friday night listening to the always great music on the Blue Light stage.
Hood opened with Buzzes Like Neon, and right away caught the crowd’s attention. Later, Shelly blew people away as he wailed out the chorus. Hood’s guitar playing is phenomenal, taking the solos in every song. It’s a true talent to play the guitar as well as you can sing. And his singing is ridiculous: he threw something extra into his already full-of-soul voice with nearly every line. Hood has put together a great trio of musicians who are incredibly comfortable playing together. They seemed to truly enjoy their time together on stage.
Adam Hood’s album, Different Groove is available on iTunes and is worth picking up. The deluxe version includes acoustic versions of over half the songs on the album. Now let’s hope Hood doesn’t wait another two years to grace our stage again!
