This is Boulder-based Michael Adam’s debut, and you’ll pretty much be floored by that fact when you hear these five fully realized singles. What you have is an energetic blend of country, folk and pop that is also mature and achieves a certain depth and resonance that you would expect of a much later CD.
Voice-wise he sounds a bit like a country-ish Eddie Vedder, and the musical accompaniment is full and fantastic and at times seems to reflect a different era. (This is highly polished stuff.) Adam was born in Guatemala, the son of missionaries, and moved to Denver as a teen. He attended college in Boston but came back to Colorado to complete a master’s degree in Spanish lit. 
Adam’s myspace page notes of The Maybe EP: “Recorded in the early Boulder mornings before … classes, Michael Adam laid down his tracks running back and forth from the studio. One time he even had to buy a huge bag of salt to melt all the ice that bedded his beat-up mini van on the road to meet his producer.” That dedication and passion shows. Definitely paid off. Band members: Michael Adam (lead vocals, guitar); Erin Jo Harris (vocals); Brian McRae (drums); Ben Holst (bass); Matt Amundson (drums on “Dreams”); Tracy Calkins (additional vocals on “Maybe”)
