Here's some news at you! We're hard at work on a new album called "Unreleased Seasides" and also a prequel EP tentatively called "Wrought Iron EP." The former will be songs that are album worthy and not yet released from throughout my career, and the latter will be 5 acoustic songs written since leaving Maine. Chronologically, it all makes sense, trust me.
as always, you can help support the cause since I've been giving away all my music for free!

Road Trip! Tour! 2009!
I am booking a Tour / Road Trip for this Fall and WILL come play your town - but i could use your help. If you can help me with finding places to play in your town, that would be awesome.
Helpful: a name of a venue you think i should play, so i can contact them
Really helpful: a contact of someone there, or if you know someone or someone who knows someone on the inside, and can put in a good word
Amazingly helpful: you can contact them and say "can you book my friend Adam on tour from Portland, ME"?
Ludicrously Helpful: you own a club and will book me there
I look forward to taking to the highway, and visiting some of you whom i have not seen in some time. Any ideas you got, lay 'em on me!

Just a quick one-two at ya reminding you Portlanders that tonight I'll be playing at Slainte (also on the bill the awesome Seymore - definitely worth coming to hear them and then loitering for me). The show is FREE FREE FREE ($0), Katrina will be stirring the cocktails, and I'll be belting out some new songs, and some old classics (from all the way back in ought eight!). Nancy will accompany me no doubt on some of those!
Slainte - Today the 10th

w/ Seymore

Then tomorrow - Saturday the 11th of April - I'll tow Keith and Nancy down to Boston to the All Asia Cafe, where we will play for our dear Bostonian fans/friends/stragglers. We'll be on at 8:30pm, and this is part of the CNC music showcase so there'll be bands on before and after. As per usual.

Adam Kurtz Newsletter #13 - Empires rise and fall, but rock and roll breathes on
Welcome to Spring 2009 everyone - though for you Russians out there I know you think it started March 1 - well it didn't - it's based on where the Earth is in relation to the sun, it's not an arbitrary date. But I digress...
This Saturday, March 28, I play at the Empire in Portland, ME opening for This Way and Pete Miller. This will be with the 3-piece: me on electric, keith on bass, and nancy on vocals. (Facebook Event Page).
The next Saturday, April 4, will be the debut of the new iteration of the full band. Want to hear your favorite Adam Kurtz songs rocked out like you've never heard them rolled out before? Then come out. The new lineup features stalwarts Keith Mann on bass, Elijah Ocean on acoustic guitar, Nancy Cartonio on vocals, and introducing Michael C. Anderson on drums. You won't want to miss this! Opening for Loverless, with Brown Dog Jonez and Shawn Saindon on the bill as well. At Empire Dine and Dance. (Facebook Event Page.)
Additionally, a mini tour of sorts greets us in April:
April 10 @ Slainte in Portland
(Facebook Event Page).
April 11 @ All Asia Cafe in Boston

Exhausting, I know.
Also - for those of you who know my alter ego Viktor II, we with brother Viktor I just epicly landed on the Greek Island of Poros. For video documentary of our exploits, free up 9 minutes and 36 seconds and go here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4BW9SvIc0A
