Adam Hood

This event is rain or shine. Adam Hood has left his mark both onstage and in the writing room, carving out a sound that mixes equal parts country, soul and American roots music. He planted the seeds that would grow into a successful career playing shows at a local restaurant in his home state of Alabama. Adam was only sixteen then, and in those weekly sets he often paid tribute to the artists that inspired him — people like John Hiatt, Delbert McClinton, and Travis Tritt. That was only the beginning, of course. Adam's dedication to his craft would soon pay off — the gigs kept coming, but there was still much more to come. Eventually his presence grew nationally, with a big break coming as opening act for Leon Russell on a three-year nationwide tour. Today, some of the same artists that Adam covered as a rising young star in Alabama are fans of his, and they play his songs too — artists such as Miranda Lambert, Little Big Town, Brent Cobb, Whiskey Meyers, Cody Jinks, and Travis Tritt himself. Adam started writing and releasing songs with Carnival Music, an engagement which lasted six years. Then, in 2016, he signed a publishing deal with Warner/Chappell Nashville and with producer Dave Cobb’s Low Country Sound. Nowadays, Adam manages his own publishing house, Southern Songmaker, and releases music under his own record label, Southern Songs. Adam’s latest album release under his Southern Songs label is Bad Days Better, which he describes as “-my most honest album yet...” Recorded in August of 2020 at Macon, Georgia’s historic Capricorn Studios, the album showcases the talents of Adam along with Brit and Richard Turner (of Blackberry Smoke) and Charlie Starr. Together with Brent Cobb, the five of them wrote and recorded the project at Capricorn over the course of four days. Joining them on the recordings are Adam Wakefield (organ & keys), Miranda Lambert, Courtney Patton, and Dave Kennedy to name a few. The Bad Days Better recording sessions came just after the world w
